Dentistry
for Cats
The healthier your cat’s mouth, the better their overall health. That’s why preventive dental care that includes routine check-ups and cleanings is vital.
It’s true: studies show that between 50% and 90% of cats over age four suffer from some form of dental disease, particularly gum disease. Left untreated, it not only can cause bad breath, tooth decay, tooth loss and chronic pain, but the bacteria can travel through the bloodstream to internal organs and cause more serious health problems, even death.
Fortunately, this can be prevented or treated with timely routine dental care and monitoring. Which is precisely what Cat Tales offers.
- The dentistry services we offer for your cat
You can count on Cat Tales for a range of preventive, diagnostic and treatment services to optimize your cat’s oral health:
- Annual dental exam: We evaluate all our patients’ teeth yearly and make recommendations on dental care that address your cat’s individual situation
- Home dental care options: Since cats are less amenable to home dental care (like teeth brushing) than dogs, we’ll tailor solutions to your cat’s unique needs
- Dental x-rays: Onsite dental x-rays ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment planning
- Safe dentistry: We perform dentistry, including tooth extractions and dental scaling/periodontal debridement, in the safest and most comfortable way for your cat
- Safe anesthesia: We take into account your cat’s age and health conditions and carefully monitor them during and after sedation
- Pain management: We ensure that your pet is as comfortable as possible before, during and after any procedure
Importantly, we work in partnership with you to determine the most effective—and cost-effective—treatment plan for your feline companion.
