Dental Care

May 22, 2018 by ivet360

Imagine if you never brushed your teeth or had them cleaned. Pretty frightening, right? As you can imagine, things would eventually start to go very, very bad inside your mouth: teeth would rot and decay, gums would become inflamed and infected. Bacteria from those rotting teeth would eventually travel into your bloodstream and could cause other serious health problems. And we haven’t even mentioned the daily, debilitating pain.

It’s the same scenario for your dog or cat. While some people might laugh at the idea of brushing their pet’s teeth or taking them for a dental cleaning, the fact is that by age three, 80% of dogs and 70% of cats have some evidence of periodontal disease.

We are pleased to have Dr. E. Paige Heywood on our team. She is a Resident of the American College of Veterinary Dentistry and is constantly bringing the latest offerings in veterinary dentistry to our patients,  offering specialty procedures you won’t find anywhere else in the Southwest Missouri area.

  • Complete Oral Evaluations
