Dogs need there teeth cleaned too!!!

This is an interesting topic today. I receive many phone calls and questions from patients of mine that ask me if there dog should get there teeth cleaned like humans do? Yes they should. Animals like dogs should get there teeth cleaned at least twice a year. Most Veterinarian's do provide this service. By getting the plaque and tarter off the dog's teeth you are doing the exact same in regards to good health as your doing for humans. You are promoting good health with there gums and there heart. The doctor will use a cavitron like humans to remove the tarter and get the teeth clean. Most Vets do this on there regular check up yearly. If you need a referral don't hesitate to call I have a great Vet.

In my practice we are also doing something interesting. Some dogs wear there chewing cuspids out and we are placing implants in dogs in the position of there cuspids so they can eat and chew. These teeth are the dogs most valuable teeth when eating because it tears the food for them. So we are placing implants if they wear these teeth out. Just like humans. We work in conjunction with the Vet at the Vets office where he sleeps the animal to allow us to place the implant.

Thanks again for reading.
