Comprehensive Dental Care and Oral Surgery for Pets
Veterinary Dentistry and Oral Surgery in Grantsville, MD
At Casselman Veterinary Services, we provide comprehensive veterinary dentistry and oral surgery for dogs and cats, helping pets live longer, healthier, and more comfortably.
Why Pet Dental Health Matters
Dental disease is one of the most common and underdiagnosed conditions in pets. By age three, more than 70% of cats and 80% of dogs show signs of periodontal disease, which can lead to pain, tooth loss, and systemic infections affecting the heart, kidneys, and liver.
Routine veterinary dental care is crucial for:
- Preventing painful dental disease
- Avoiding tooth loss and gum infection
- Eliminating bad breath caused by bacterial buildup
- Protecting internal organs from infection
- Supporting your pet’s comfort and quality of life
Our Dental Services
At Casselman Veterinary Services, we offer a full range of veterinary dental care and oral surgery, including:
Professional Dental Cleanings
Our thorough cleanings are performed under anesthesia to allow safe scaling above and below the gumline. This process removes harmful plaque and tartar that brushing alone can’t reach. We also polish teeth to smooth the surface and reduce future buildup.
Dental Radiographs
We use dental X-rays to evaluate tooth root health, identify bone loss, and find issues not visible during an oral exam. These detailed images help us make better treatment choices and detect problems early.
Surgical Extractions
Surgical tooth extractions are performed to relieve pain and prevent infection when teeth are damaged or diseased beyond repair. Our team follows strict protocols for pain management and post-operative care, ensuring your pet recovers comfortably.
Oral Surgery
For pets with advanced oral conditions, such as abscesses, fractured teeth, or oral tumors, we provide targeted oral surgical services to restore health and function.
What to Expect
Your pet’s dental care begins with a comprehensive oral exam during a wellness visit. If signs of dental disease are noted, such as bad breath, red gums, or visible tartar, we may recommend a professional dental procedure.
During a dental appointment:
- Your pet is placed under anesthesia for safety and comfort.
- A full-mouth exam and dental radiographs are completed.
- Teeth are scaled and polished.
- If needed, extractions or other surgical treatments are performed.
- Post-operative care instructions and pain medication are provided.
We’re here to guide you through each step, from diagnosis to recovery, and are always available to answer questions about your pet’s treatment plan.
