Pet Dental Care in Selden

Just like humans, dental health is crucial for pets. Maintaining your furry friend's oral hygiene is about more than just a bright smile, it's essential for their overall well-being. For pets, their teeth are like their fingers, being used for everything from picking things up and exploring to typical functions such as eating and even playing. At Middle Country Animal Hospital, we value your animal companions' smiles, and we're dedicated to ensuring that their teeth and gums remain in excellent condition.

Contact us at (631) 759-8076 to book an appointment. Your pet's well-being is our passion, and we're excited to be a part of their journey to a healthier, happier smile.

Our Pet Dental Care Services

When your furry friend visits us for their preventative care, it's more than just a routine examination. When we check your pet’s mouth, we're doing much more than just checking their tonsils. We also monitor tartar buildup, look for gingivitis (that's redness along the gum line), and keeping an eye out for the onset of periodontal disease (a fancy way of saying gum recession).

Our dental services include:

• Dental cleanings: We use modern equipment and techniques to provide a safe and comfortable cleaning experience.
• Brushing: We're here to offer guidance and tips to make brushing a manageable part of your routine.
• Dental X-rays: We offer cutting-edge imaging services, including dental X-rays that allow us to identify problems not visible during a regular examination.
• Extractions: Our experienced team performs extractions with care and precision to minimize discomfort.
• Treatment for dental disease: If your pet is diagnosed with dental disease, we offer treatment options to address the problem effectively.
• Diet: We provide recommendations for diets that support good oral hygiene and overall well-being.
• Water additives: For those pets who don't have the time or patience for brushing, there are dental rinses that can be added to their drinking water. It's a simple yet effective way to promote oral health.

Your pet's radiant smile is not just a matter of aesthetics; it's an essential component of their overall health and happiness. Join us in promoting your pet's dental health and enjoy the benefits of a brighter, healthier smile.

Why Dental Care for Pets Matters

Oral health is not just about having a pretty smile. Dental issues can lead to severe health problems, affect their quality of life, and cause unnecessary discomfort. Infections in the mouth can wreak havoc on other organ systems, potentially contributing to heart, lung, and kidney issues. Maintaining that winning smile isn't just for looks; it's essential for their overall health.

Here's why dental care is a fundamental part of your pet's wellness:

• Preventing Dental Disease: Dental disease is one of the most common health issues in pets. Left untreated, it can lead to painful conditions like periodontal disease and tooth loss. 
• Promoting Comfort: Just like humans, pets can experience pain, discomfort, and difficulty eating when they have dental problems. In this way, dental problems can also cause more severe issues like malnutrition.
• Extending Lifespan: By preventing dental disease and its associated health issues, you're contributing to your pet's longevity. 

We strongly recommend bringing in your pet for a dental check-up at least once a year. A healthy mouth can help your pet live a longer, happier life.
