A FOCUS ON DENTAL HEALTHCARE IN CATS
General dental healthcare offers protection to the body as well as the oral cavity. When you consider dental cleaning you are giving your cat added protection against bacteria that live on the teeth and gums. Other organs that can be affected by the bacteria spreading from the mouth, via the bloodstream, primarily include the heart, liver and kidneys.
Documented research has indicated that up to 80% of cats by the age of 3 years have some form of periodontal disease which begins with the plaque that forms on the teeth over time.
At Cats at Home we offer a comprehensive approach to the dental cleaning procedure. We document the health of each tooth with charts and perform x-rays to ensure that there is no compromise with the root health. We also do a survey of all soft tissue in the oral cavity to rule out any existing or presenting cancerous lesions.
When we discover that the crown of a tooth has evidence of damage we evaluate the level and extent of this before we remove it. Our care and attention to your cat’s oral health is a reflection of the expertise that we offer.
Cats at Home pays close attention to the recovery and homecare for all of our patients. We will ensure that you understand your kitty’s procedure and recovery and we will follow your homecare with continued communication. We encourage you to call us with any worries or concerns during their post-dental care.
