🦷 Why a Surface Cleaning Your Pet’s Teeth Isn’t Enough 🦷

Tartar buildup you can see on the tooth surface is only part of the story.

Periodontal disease — inflammation and infection of the tissues that support the teeth — typically begins below the gumline, where it cannot be detected without specialized equipment.

This disease can lead to:
🦷 Pain and difficulty eating
🦷 Tooth loss
🦷 Chronic inflammation
🦷 Spread of bacteria to other parts of the body

Dental X-rays are essential for identifying hidden problems such as bone loss or abscesses that would otherwise go undiagnosed.

About Dentistry at Boundary Bay Veterinary Specialty Hospital

Our board-certified dentistry specialist works closely with referring veterinarians to support continuity of care. Whether your pet needs advanced dental diagnostics, oral surgery, or follow-up support, specialty dentistry complements the care already provided by your primary veterinarian.

If you have concerns about your pet’s oral health, talk to your family veterinarian about whether a referral to our board-certified dental specialist may be appropriate.

A healthy mouth supports comfort, function, and overall wellbeing — and specialized veterinary dentistry plays a key role in achieving that.
