Just like people, dogs and cats need regular teeth cleaning and dental care to stay healthy and pain-free. At Jackson Veterinary Clinic, we believe a healthy mouth is a vital part of your pet’s overall well-being—from keeping their breath fresh to preventing serious issues like infections, tooth loss, and even heart or kidney disease.

What to Expect at Your Pet’s Dental Visit

Our dental care services are designed to keep your pet comfortable while giving us a clear look at their oral health.

Here’s what we offer:

Full-Mouth Dental Exams

We check for signs of plaque, tartar, gum disease, loose or broken teeth, and oral tumors.

Professional Cleanings Under Anesthesia

We safely scale and polish each tooth, above and below the gumline, where bacteria love to hide.

Digital Dental X-Rays

These help us see what’s going on beneath the surface—because not all dental problems are visible to the naked eye.

Tooth Extractions (if needed)

If a tooth is damaged or infected, we can safely remove it to relieve pain and prevent further issues.
