Comprehensive Pet Dental Care
in Myrtle Beach
Good dental health is about more than a clean smile. It’s a vital part of your pet’s overall well-being. At Myrtle Beach Animal Hospital, we know that preventive dental care can help to prevent serious health problems, and our veterinary team is committed to providing comprehensive pet dental care that keeps your pet healthy from teeth to tail.
Why Preventive Dental Care Matters
Just like people, pets benefit from regular dental cleanings and at-home care. Without routine prevention, plaque and tartar can build up, leading to gingivitis, periodontal disease, and painful infections. Left untreated, dental issues don’t just affect the mouth. Serious health problems like heart disease, kidney disease, and systemic infections often begin with untreated dental disease.
That’s why our veterinary team places such a strong emphasis on education and counseling for pet parents. We’ll walk you through the importance of preventive dental visits and recommend trusted products to support ongoing at-home care. Our clinic also stocks veterinarian-approved products so you can easily maintain your pet’s oral health between visits.
Following Trusted Guidelines
For preventive care, we follow the gold standard set by the Veterinary Oral Health Council We also provide VOHC printed materials to help you stay informed about maintaining your pet’s dental health at home.
Comprehensive Dental Cleanings
When it comes to professional dental cleanings, we take a comprehensive approach. Every cleaning is performed under anesthesia for your pet’s safety and comfort, and we treat the procedure with the same level of attention as any surgery.
Our comprehensive dental cleanings provide our team with a thorough understanding of your pet’s dental health:
- A full-mouth evaluation to identify any problem areas.
- Ultrasonic scaling to remove plaque and tartar above and below the gumline.
- Probing and measuring each tooth to assess gum health and detect early signs of periodontal disease.
- Dental sealants to help slow infection and protect the teeth.
- Extractions, if necessary, to address diseased or damaged teeth.
- Removal of oral growths or tumors, if present.
This detailed approach ensures your pet isn’t just receiving a “quick cleaning,” but rather a complete evaluation and treatment to promote lasting oral health.
Long-Term Dental Care and Support
Dental care doesn’t end after the cleaning. Our veterinary team provides guidance and product recommendations for every stage of dental health, from early plaque prevention to advanced periodontal care. By combining professional services with consistent at-home routines, we can help your pet enjoy a healthier mouth—and a healthier life.
