Dental Care
Better Breath & A Whole Lot More!
Doctors have learned that good dental health is as critical for our companion animals as it is for us. In fact, dental disease can lead to health issues with the heart, liver, and kidneys, and can affect the body systemically through the bloodstream. It is estimated that 80% of dogs and 70% of cats over three years of age suffer from some form of dental disease, making it the most common pet health issue among our pet population.
Preventative Pet Dental Health Care
As a result, the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) recommends that dogs and cats receive annual dental cleanings beginning at the age of one or two. By making dental health just another component of our pet’s preventative care, we can help our loved ones avoid the deadly buildup of bacteria and tartar under the gum tissue, which can lead to bad breath, painful chewing, and eventual extractions.
Signs Your Pet May Need a Dental
- Yellow or Brown Tarter on Teath
- Bad Breath
- Difficulty Eating
- Swollen Gums
- Pawing at the Mouth

Dental Exams, Cleanings & Extractions (as needed)
Brooklyn offers dental wellness services like those provided by your own dentist. For animals, anesthesia is required to perform a thorough dental exam, which will include radiographs to look at tooth roots and surrounding bone, and dental probes to assess pocket depth and look for any enamel damage. If a bad tooth is found upon examination it is usually dealt with at the same time, since the dog is already under anesthesia.
We will also show you how to care for your pet’s teeth and offer recommendations for future care. Our animals even go home with a goody bag to promote dental wellness!
Our services include:
- Pre-Anesthetic Bloodwork
- Anesthesia
- Dental Radiology
- Comprehensive Oral Exam
- Periodontal Treatment (i.e., teeth scaling and polishing)
- Extractions & Sealants
