At NorthPointe Animal Hospital in Fresno, we specialize in keeping your pet's dental health at its best. Our professional dental cleaning services for dogs and cats include scaling, polishing, and comprehensive oral exams.
Regular dental care not only prevents gum disease but also promotes overall health. Your pet’s oral health impacts their general wellness; pets with cleaner mouths live longer, happier lives. Bacteria from periodontal disease can enter the bloodstream, potentially affecting the heart, kidney, or liver.
We offer digital dental X-rays to determine the extent of any disease and if extractions are needed. Our veterinarian recommends regular dental cleanings to help your pet keep their teeth longer. Check our blog for tips on maintaining your pet's oral health at home.
