In addition to regular check-ups, another aspect of a pet's health that requires ongoing attention is their oral health. Like their pet parents, fur friends can experience dental issues that may necessitate pet surgery for extraction. At White Rock Animal Hospital, we cater to the dental needs of pets in Dallas and the surrounding areas of Lake Highlands, East Dallas, and Garland.
Causes of Pet Dental Issues
Pets are susceptible to several dental problems that need veterinary treatment. Oral issues your pet may encounter include a broken tooth, infected teeth, root damage, tumors, and periodontal disease. In the event of an accident, your pet's jaw may be fractured or broken. When your pet is suffering from a severe dental issue, pet surgery at our animal hospital provided by our veterinarian may be recommended to alleviate your pet's pain.
About Dental Health at Our Pet Hospital
In addition to your pet's annual wellness check and vaccinations, our veterinarian will conduct a thorough dental examination. An annual check-up is recommended to ensure your pet's dental health. If the vet identifies a dental issue during the examination, our vet will discuss a plan of action with you. If your pet is showing symptoms of a mouth problem, such as excessive drooling, difficulty holding food in their mouth, or decreased appetite, schedule an appointment as soon as possible.
About Pet Surgery
When surgery is necessary, our pet hospital is equipped with everything needed to ensure a smooth procedure for the pet. Our vet will explain the details and what is involved. Before the scheduled surgery, you will receive pre-surgery instructions to follow. During the surgery, which may involve extracting one or more teeth, your pet is made comfortable and kept calm using general anesthesia. After the surgery, you will receive post-operative care instructions, such as administering medication and ensuring your pet gets plenty of rest. Our team will also schedule a follow-up visit to ensure proper healing.
