Pet Dentistry
Dog Dentistry Services in the Jacksonville, FL, Area
Your pet is part of the family, which means they need many of the same care services that you do. That includes dentistry. While a dog or cat doesn’t need semi-daily teeth brushing, they do need regular cleanings
to keep their teeth and mouths healthy. When you bring your pet to Baywood Animal Hospital, we make sure that their mouths are squeaky clean.

Why Does Your Pet Need Dental Services?
Dogs and cats can experience a buildup of plaque and bacteria just like humans. This buildup can lead to gum infections and even gingivitis. If your pets don’t receive proper dental care, they could even develop periodontal disease, which infects the gums and loosens the tooth. This could eventually cause your pet’s teeth to fall out.
Another common issue with pets is broken teeth. Dogs and cats can chew on all sorts of things, including tough toys like antlers or bones. If your pet breaks a tooth, the tooth’s nerves could be exposed, leading to painful chewing for your pet. A broken tooth also opens up the door for infection and, eventually, tooth removal.
With regular cleanings and dental care, your pet can keep their teeth healthy, and you can make sure that your pet is pain-free.
What Services Do We Offer?
When you bring your pet in, we thoroughly but carefully clean your pet’s teeth and gums. If your pet is nervous about teeth cleanings, we can also use an anesthetic to make the process easier. We also perform X-rays to check for underlying issues or hidden problems.
