Comprehensive Pet Dental Care in Ontario

Dental disease is one of the most common—but often overlooked—conditions in dogs and cats. Bad breath and tartar may seem minor, but untreated oral disease can lead to pain, tooth loss, and even serious internal health issues. At our Notre-Dame Animal Hospital, we offer full-service veterinary dentistry designed to catch problems early, relieve discomfort, and help your pet thrive.

We use safe anaesthesia, dental X-rays, and gentle techniques to ensure your pet’s comfort during every procedure. Whether your pet needs a routine dental cleaning or has symptoms like bad breath or bleeding gums, we’re here to help.

Routine Dental Exams

Regular dental checkups are the foundation of good oral health. During a dental exam, we’ll assess:

LTartar buildup
LGum health
LLoose, broken, or missing teeth
LOral pain or swelling
LSigns of infection or dental disease

These evaluations are typically part of your pet’s wellness visit, but we may recommend more frequent exams if your pet is at higher risk for dental issues.

Dog and Cat Teeth Cleaning (Scaling & Polishing)

Our professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar both above and below the gumline. This process includes:

LFull-mouth exam and dental charting
LUltrasonic and hand scaling
LTooth polishing to smooth surfaces
LFluoride treatment (when needed)

Dental cleanings are performed under general anaesthesia to allow for thorough and safe care. If you’re looking for dog teeth cleaning or cat dental services in Sudbury, we’re here to provide high-quality, compassionate care.

Cat & Dog Dental X-Rays in Sudbury

Not all dental problems are visible to the eye. That’s why we use digital dental radiographs (X-rays) to examine the tooth roots, jawbone, and underlying structures. This allows us to detect:

LAbscesses
LRoot fractures
LBone loss from periodontal disease
LResorptive lesions (common in cats)
LHidden infections

Dental X-rays are essential for diagnosing issues early and guiding any necessary treatment or extractions.

Pet Tooth Extractions

In cases of severe decay, infection, or fractured teeth, an extraction may be the best way to relieve pain and protect your pet’s overall health. We perform tooth extractions using gentle techniques, local nerve blocks, and pain management to ensure your pet is as comfortable as possible before, during, and after the procedure.

LBrushing techniques and pet-safe toothpaste
LDental diets or chews
LOral rinses and supplements
LMonitoring for signs of dental disease

Preventive care can make a significant difference in your pet’s comfort, lifespan, and future treatment needs.
