Dentistry in Costa Mesa, CA and beyond.

Did you know that poor oral health can lead to infections that can spread through the bloodstream to affect major organs such as your pet’s liver, kidneys, and heart?

Just as it’s important for you to see a dentist regularly, it’s important for dogs and cats as well. Your pet’s oral health is directly connected to their overall health. Signs of dental disease include bad breath, loose, broken or missing teeth, yellow or brown teeth, red, inflamed or bleeding gums, difficulty or pain when chewing, pawing at the mouth, and excessive drooling. If you notice any of these symptoms, please contact our team and we’ll be happy to help.

We are proud that we have the most up to date equipment to treat dental disease, including digital dental x-rays. This allows us to detect if there is any disease beneath the gum line that we would not be able to see otherwise. We are often able to see undetected abscesses, broken teeth, resorbed roots, retained roots, and more thanks to dental radiographs.

Common Dental Problems

• Gum disease is very common in dogs and cats.  Gingivitis, or gum disease, is an inflammation of the gum tissue
• Peridontitis, or periodontal disease, is the most common dental problem for dogs
• Tooth fractures are the second biggest problem for dogs.  This can lead to infection inside the tooth (endodontic disease)
