Cat Dental Care at Cat Clinic at Canyon Park in Bothell, WA
Cats often experience dental issues that, when left untreated, can lead to pain, infection, or more serious health complications. Our comprehensive cat dentistry services ensure that your pet’s teeth and gums stay healthy, which contributes to their overall health and comfort.
What Is Cat Dental Care?
Cat dental care involves routine cat teeth cleaning, examinations, and treatments aimed at preventing dental disease. Just like humans, cats can develop plaque and tartar on their teeth, which can cause gum disease, tooth decay, and even systemic infections if bacteria enter the bloodstream. Our experienced cat dentists use advanced tools and techniques to safely clean your cat’s teeth and treat any dental issues.
During a cat teeth cleaning appointment, we conduct a thorough examination to assess your cat’s oral health. This includes checking for signs of gum disease, tooth decay, and any abnormalities in the mouth. If needed, we can take dental X-rays to get a better understanding of the condition of your cat’s teeth below the gum line. In addition to cleanings, we also offer tooth extractions, treatment for periodontal disease, and other specialized dental procedures.
Benefits of Cat Dental Care
Prevents Dental Disease
Regular cleanings and check-ups help prevent common dental issues such as plaque buildup, tartar formation, and gum disease.
Improves Overall Health
Maintaining your cat’s oral health can prevent infections that may spread to other parts of the body, such as the heart, liver, or kidneys.
Relieves Pain and Discomfort
Dental treatments can alleviate pain caused by decayed teeth, infected gums, or oral inflammation, improving your cat’s comfort.
Preserves Teeth
Early intervention can save teeth that might otherwise need extraction, ensuring your cat retains a healthy, functional set of teeth.
Promotes Better Eating Habits
Cats with healthy teeth are more likely to eat normally, which supports proper nutrition and weight management.
Increases Lifespan
Regular dental care can extend your cat’s life by preventing serious complications that arise from untreated oral health problems.
Fresher Breath
Dental cleanings eliminate bad breath caused by plaque and bacteria, contributing to a more pleasant interaction with your cat.
The Importance of Regular Cat Teeth Cleaning
Routine cat teeth cleaning is a vital part of your cat’s preventive health care plan. Cats are prone to developing periodontal disease, which can lead to tooth loss and other health complications. Regular cleanings help remove plaque and tartar that can contribute to these issues.
At the Cat Clinic at Canyon Park, we recommend annual dental exams and cleanings for most cats, but more frequent visits may be needed depending on your cat’s age, health, and dental history. During the cleaning process, our veterinary team will use safe, gentle tools to remove plaque from your cat’s teeth and below the gum line. After cleaning, we polish the teeth to prevent future plaque buildup. If any dental issues are detected, we will discuss treatment options with you.
