Cat and Dog Dentist in Eugene

At Pawsitive Wellness Veterinary Care all dental procedures are done under anesthesia. That process allows us to offer more complete exams and procedures without danger to the pet.

We offer a variety of dental care options including:

Basic Dental Exam and Cleaning

During our basic exam, we check the teeth above and below the gum line. We look for tooth decay and other oral health issues. The oral exam gives us a full picture of your pet’s oral health and can help us spot issues such as periodontal disease, inflammation of the gums, and problems that may arise with their teeth.

We also clean your pet’s teeth during the exam. We use specialized tools that work with the shape of dog and cat teeth. We can clean tartar and plaque above and below the gum line without damaging the teeth. Our staff are practicing veterinary professionals with many years of experience in the dental care of dogs and cats.

Dental Procedures

We offer a range of dental procedures that help to correct oral health problems. These include tooth extraction and gum and soft tissue care or treatment, and the removal of foreign objects. A veterinary dental procedure occurs under anesthesia.

Veterinary dentistry is an essential service that acts as both a preventative form of medicine and treatment for emergencies and routine oral health problems that may arise due to age.

Part of our service to pets and their owners is to provide education on how to care for your pet’s mouth, gums, and teeth. We may make recommendations for special diets to address dental issues or show you how to brush your pet’s teeth and care for their oral cavity. We also talk with you about toys and treats and how to use both effectively to help keep your pet’s teeth clean. We can show you how to quickly check their teeth for signs of foreign objects, such as bone fragments, and if teeth are cracked or broken. Oral health for pets is an important part of prevention. A healthy pet lives longer and enjoys a higher quality of life.

Part of dental health is nutritional health. We help our clients understand the nutritional needs of their pets. When pets have healthy food, they build healthy bodies including teeth, gums, and soft tissue. Quality food also helps to reduce intestinal issues which can have a secondary impact on oral health. Are you feeding your cat or dog the right type of food? Are snacks and treats too high in sugar, fat, or salt? We have options for healthy foods that are still exciting for your pet.
