A healthy mouth means a healthier pet. At Elgin Park Animal Hospital, dental cleanings help remove buildup that brushing can’t reach. Gentle yet thorough, we work to reduce discomfort, prevent infections, and freshen breath. Each cleaning is part of a wider effort to protect your pet’s overall wellbeing—because a strong smile often hides quiet pain.
After scaling, polishing smooths your pet’s teeth to discourage tartar from returning. At Elgin Park Animal Hospital, this final step in dental care leaves teeth clean and less likely to trap bacteria. Polishing isn’t cosmetic—it’s protective, helping maintain oral comfort and preventing damage. Every detail counts when it comes to keeping your pet healthy.
When a tooth is beyond saving, extraction offers relief. At Elgin Park Animal Hospital, we don’t take this step lightly. We focus on minimizing pain and restoring comfort, especially when infection or injury has made eating difficult. A successful extraction can be life-changing for pets in chronic discomfort—allowing them to eat, play, and heal freely again.
Scaling removes hardened plaque that leads to gum disease and tooth decay. At Elgin Park Animal Hospital, we perform gentle, comprehensive scaling during dental procedures to protect your pet’s health from the inside out. It’s more than a cleaning—it’s an investment in long-term wellness, preventing infection and pain that could go unnoticed for too long.
Preventive care is essential, especially for your pet’s mouth. Dental prophylactic services at Elgin Park Animal Hospital include thorough cleaning, scaling, and evaluation before problems begin. By addressing dental health early, we help protect your pet from future pain, tooth loss, and complications. A little care now helps your companion stay active and comfortable longer.
Not all dental issues are visible. Elgin Park Animal Hospital uses dental X-rays to look beneath the gumline, where infection and damage can hide. These images guide decisions, ensuring nothing is missed during your pet’s dental visit. It’s a quiet but crucial step in identifying issues before they become emergencies—supporting a happier, pain-free life.
