Pet Dental Care and Extractions

Dental health is an essential aspect of your pet's overall well-being. Regular dental care, including cleanings and exams, is crucial to prevent dental diseases and other health problems. Southwest Veterinary Hospital in Littleton, CO, understands the importance of pet and dental care. We provide extractions to keep your furry friends healthy and happy.

Extractions are Important for Pet Dental Health

Extractions are essential to pet dental care, and they are necessary when the tooth is severely damaged or infected. Dental disease is prevalent among pets, and if left untreated, it can lead to serious health problems, including heart disease, liver disease, and kidney failure. Extracting a tooth can prevent infection and further damage the mouth and surrounding tissues.

What to Expect after a Tooth Extraction

After your pet's tooth extraction, following your veterinarian's post-operative care instructions is essential to ensure a smooth recovery. Your pet may experience some pain and discomfort for the first few days after the procedure, and your veterinarian may prescribe pain medication to alleviate these symptoms. Your pet may also need to eat soft food or receive nutritional supplements during healing.

Preventing Dental Diseases in Pets

Preventing dental diseases in pets is crucial for their overall health and well-being. Regular dental cleanings and exams are essential to detect and treat dental problems early on. Pet owners can also promote good dental health by regularly brushing their pet's teeth and providing dental treats and toys.
