At Mann Memorial Veterinary Clinic, we understand that your pet’s oral health is directly connected to their overall well-being. Our comprehensive dentistry services are designed to prevent, detect, and treat dental problems before they lead to serious health issues. Whether it’s routine teeth cleaning or advanced oral surgery, we’re here to protect your pet’s smile — and their health.
Why Pet Dental Health Matters
Imagine never brushing your teeth or seeing a dentist. Over time, plaque hardens into tartar, gums become inflamed, teeth decay, and bacteria spread throughout the body. This isn’t just a human concern — it’s the same for pets.
In fact, by the age of three, 80% of dogs and 70% of cats exhibit signs of periodontal disease, a painful condition that affects the gums and teeth.
Left untreated, dental disease can cause:
- Chronic pain and difficulty eating
- Tooth loss and jawbone damage
- Infections that affect the heart, liver, and kidneys
Routine pet dentistry isn’t just about fresh breath — it’s about preventing serious illness and enhancing quality of life.

Benefits of Veterinary Dentistry
Pain Prevention and Relief
Dental disease can be incredibly painful. Cleanings and treatments eliminate discomfort.
Longer, Healthier Life
Managing oral health reduces the risk of infections that can affect the heart, kidneys, and liver.
Better Breath and Quality of Life
Clean, healthy mouths improve your pet’s mood, appetite, and energy.
Early Detection of Problems
Regular exams catch issues before they become costly or life-threatening.
Preventive Dental Care at Home
Daily or even weekly brushing of your pet’s teeth significantly reduces the risk of periodontal disease. We’re happy to show you how to brush your dog or cat’s teeth properly. If brushing isn’t an option, we can recommend veterinary-approved dental chews, water additives, and special diets to support oral health between cleanings.
