Pet Dentistry

It is estimated that 90% of pets have dental disease. 90%! A very large majority of these pets never show outward signs even though their disease is well documented to cause harm to their kidneys, liver, heart, and immune system.

Dental Care
Dental disease without proper treatment can even lead to mouth cancer. Creekside’s Team is passionate about getting rid of doggy (and kitty) breath. CVH’s team wants you to know that the key to dental care is PROPER dental care. We do it the right way, with the guidance of the American Animal Hospital Association, The Veterinary Oral Health Council, and the American Veterinary Medical Association.We’re proud to have dental x-rays, which allow us to see the source of disease and treat it, rather than just cleaning the parts of the tooth that you can see with the naked eye.
At-Home Care

The best line of defense against periodontal disease is regular maintenance of your pet’s mouth. As your pet’s daily caretaker, that responsibility falls partly to you. We understand that brushing a pet’s teeth everyday can sometimes be a bit more than you can chew. Luckily, we offer a range of dental healthcare products that make at-home pet dental care a breeze. Here are just a few that we recommend:

  • ProDen Dental Bites and powders
  • Purina Dental Health diets
  • Purina Pro Plan Dental Chews
  • Veggie Dents
  • OraVet Chews
  • VetraDent water additive
  • CET enzymatic toothpaste

Search for more dental products approved by the Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC), as these have demonstrated their ability to slow plaque and tartar accumulation. When searching for the perfect chew for your pet, avoid items that are too hard since they can lead to tooth fractures. Also remember that if you are using any water additives for dental health and fresh breath, changing the water daily is necessary for it to be effective.
