WHAT TO EXPECT
At Firehall 4 Animal Hospital, we strongly believe in the importance of good oral hygiene, so we offer free dental consultations for our patients. All dental cleanings include a full-mouth and tooth-by-tooth assessment, digital dental radiographs, state-of-the-art monitoring equipment, and a dedicated veterinary assistant to monitor anesthesia. We also have the ability and experience to perform complicated extractions and biopsies. We are advocates of pain management and offer nerve blocks, high-standard pharmaceutical treatments, and laser therapy to keep our patients comfortable.
We want to work with our clients to create a personalized dental health care program that works for you and your pet. Good dental health includes regular oral exams, at-home care, and dental cleanings to remove tartar buildup and identify any periodontal disease or broken teeth that need treatment. Signs to look for at home that may indicate oral pain in your dog or cat include heavy tartar buildup, bad breath, swollen gums, dropping food from one side of the mouth, facial rubbing, decreased appetite, growling, and lethargy. Dental radiographs are performed during every dental cleaning to evaluate for problems within the tooth, under the gumline, or inside the jaw – this ensures that we do not miss any problems that aren’t visible on an oral examination.
X-RAYS
Evidence shows that dental x-rays give us the ability to diagnose disease below the gumline, which would be impossible to see otherwise. This allows us to treat pain that we wouldn’t have known existed. We take dental x-rays with each examination so that we can look for these sources of pain and eliminate them before they cause a bigger problem. After the dental procedure we are happy to show you your pet’s radiographs along with pre and post dental pictures of your pet’s teeth so you can see the value in investing in your pet’s dental health!

Overview
Good oral health is essential to your pet’s overall well-being.

From toothbrushes and toothpaste to dental diets, chews, and other oral care products, our team can help you choose the best options for your pet’s needs. Preventive dental care at home, combined with regular veterinary dental exams, can help protect your pet from dental disease and promote a healthier, happier life.
Toothbrush & Toothpaste Recommendations
Daily brushing is one of the most effective ways to protect your pet’s oral health. Using a pet-specific toothbrush and veterinarian-approved toothpaste helps reduce plaque, prevent tartar buildup, and keep your pet’s teeth and gums healthy. Our team can recommend the best products based on your pet’s age, size, and individual dental needs, making at-home dental care simple, safe, and effective.
Diet Recommendations
A healthy diet plays an important role in maintaining your pet’s oral health. Specially formulated dental diets can help reduce plaque and tartar buildup while supporting strong teeth and healthy gums. Our veterinary team can recommend the best dental nutrition based on your pet’s age, breed, lifestyle, and individual health needs. By combining the right diet with regular dental care and routine veterinary checkups, you can help keep your pet’s mouth healthy and their smile bright for years to come.
Dental Chews
Maintaining your pet’s oral health goes beyond brushing alone. Our team may recommend additional dental care products, professional cleanings, and preventive treatments based on your pet’s age, breed, and overall dental health. Together, these recommendations help reduce plaque buildup, protect healthy teeth and gums, and support your pet’s long-term wellness.
Additional Recommendations
Maintaining your pet’s oral health at home can help reduce plaque and support healthier teeth and gums between professional dental cleanings. Products such as HealthyMouth and OraVet Plaque Prevention Gel can be incorporated into your pet’s dental care routine to help manage plaque buildup. Our veterinary team can recommend the right products and show you how to use them safely and effectively for your pet.
