Dentistry

Westside Family Pet Clinic has been providing comprehensive dental care for pets since 1991.  From routine teeth cleaning & dental x-rays to oral surgery & root canals, our emphasis is always to prevent pain, tooth loss and internal organ disease (kidney, liver, and heart disease) for your pet. Studies have routinely shown that dental problems are present in over 80% of pets 3 years of age but some pets show signs even earlier (especially small dog breeds and cats). It is part of our mission to prevent dental problems in all pets before it causes pain, discomfort or internal disease.

Our emphasis is on identifying problems BEFORE they cause pain, infection or tooth loss. We want to offer you all the options to try and save the affected teeth, if possible. We will discuss all available forms of pain relief and anesthetic safety to insure that you can help make the right decisions regarding dental health for your pet.

We also feel that is our obligation to provide you with a practical homecare plan that is tailored to your family and truly helps to prolong the time between dental visits.

And of course, when he/she comes to give you that big lick at the end of a hard day their breath will be better if you follow our recommendations …We promise!
