How Often Should Your Pet Receive Teeth Cleaning?

Did you know that about 80% of dogs show signs of periodontal disease by the time they are three years old? To ensure that your precious animal is not part of these glaring statistics and to avoid the adverse health complications caused by periodontal disease, you should prioritize your pet’s dental health. If you live in or around Broomfield, CO, and don’t know where to begin looking for an affordable and professional veterinarian, we are here for you. At Animal Oasis of the Rockies, we will develop a teeth cleaning schedule to prevent dental diseases and improve your pet’s comfort.

The Recommended Teeth Cleaning Schedule for Your Pet

Teeth cleaning for your pet should be thought of as two different aspects of dental care. It would help if you regularly clean your pet’s teeth at home, as often as recommended by our veterinarian. You should also take your pet to a veterinary clinic for professional cleaning and a thorough dental check-up.

Home dental cleaning is somewhat limited. Pets can often make it difficult to provide proper dental care at home. There are parts of your dog's mouth that you cannot reach. Your pet may become anxious and not cooperate with you.

Without professional cleaning, food particles will remain trapped on the teeth, which affects feeding and your pet’s health. Our pet dental care services are thorough and professional. Your pet will be put under general anesthesia to make the process less stressful. Our expert will clean the areas of the mouth that you may have missed.

Our veterinarian at Animal Oasis of the Rockies recommends an annual visit for professional teeth cleaning for most dog breeds. However, for smaller dogs, you may need to visit twice per year. During the interim time between the visits, you should examine your pet’s teeth and gum line to check for abnormalities. If you do notice something, speak with Dr. Huber and she will advise you accordingly.
