Petroglyph Animal Hospital in Albuquerque knows that pet dentistry is an essential part of an overall health dental plan for your pet. Oral health is one of the foundations of a healthy animal. Teeth and gums that are clean, sound, and free of plaque are important for pets at every age.
We recommend a daily oral hygiene routine for dogs and cats, including teeth brushing and dental chews.
After the age of seven, our doctors recommend yearly dental cleanings. All patients are fully anesthetized so that x-rays can be taken and the doctor can probe beneath the gum line, which is where periodontal disease begins.
If your pet is having trouble eating, shows signs of pain, or has bad breath, it may be time to schedule an appointment for dog teeth cleaning with one of our veterinarians to discuss your pet’s oral and dental health.
