Sommerville Veterinary Centre
Where we have been putting “pets first” since 1993.
Ensuring optimal dental health for your beloved pets is crucial at Sommerville Vets. Just like in humans, regular dental cleaning is paramount.
Early intervention and consistent dental care can save you both time and money compared to more extensive dental procedures later on. Neglecting dental health can lead to issues like inflamed gums (gingivitis) and periodontal disease, which not only affect your pet's teeth but can also impact other vital organs such as the heart and kidneys.
Periodontal disease, once established, is irreversible and can ultimately result in tooth loss. However, with timely dental care, including the removal of bacterial plaque and adherence to good dental hygiene practices, we can actively prevent the progression of periodontal disease.
During dental checks at Sommerville Vets, our experienced vets and vet nurses thoroughly assess the extent of tartar accumulation, examine for signs of gingivitis and periodontal disease, as well as check for any broken teeth. Based on our evaluation, we provide recommendations on whether a dental procedure is necessary and offer guidance on preventive measures to safeguard your pet's dental health in the future. Remember, a little care now can go a long way in ensuring your furry friend's overall well-being.
