Dental Care
Here at Best Friends Animal Hospital, dental care is extremely important to us. We believe that a clean and healthy mouth will extend the longevity of your pet, as well as his or her overall well being.
We have an up to date dental scaling and polishing machine and a state of the art digital dental x-ray machine. Preventing oral issues is just as important for your pet's overall health. Plus, you'll get the added bonus of his or her cleaner mouth and fresher breath.
Dental x-rays (or radiography) allow us to "look underneath" the gum line for disease and infection. It helps us, just like your dentist, to provide better care and treatment options.
