Pets need regular dental cleanings. At Sierra Animal Hospital, we recommend dental cleanings at least once a year, sometimes every 6 months for older animals and those with bad teeth.

We can assess your pet’s dental health during exams. Tartar buildup can lead to issues like bad breath, heart disease, and organ failure. Calculus is removed using an ultrasonic cleaner, and teeth are polished. Loose or suspect teeth can be X-rayed and removed if needed, and broken teeth can be sealed.
