Comprehensive Pet Dentistry
At North Hills Animal Hospital & Resort, our comprehensive pet dentistry in Raleigh, NC, provides gentle and effective care for dogs and cats, keeping their oral health in top condition.
Why Pet Dentistry Matters
Regular dental cleanings play a pivotal role in extending your pet’s lifespan. By addressing issues such as bad breath, tartar buildup, tooth decay, and gingivitis, we not only enhance your pet’s oral hygiene but also reduce the risk of more severe health complications, including heart disease and bacterial infections.
Symptoms that Indicate Your Pet Needs Dental Care
- Persistent bad breath
- Excessive drooling
- Difficulty chewing or loss of appetite
- Yellow or brown deposits on teeth
- Swollen or bleeding gums
- Loose or missing teeth
If you notice any of these signs, schedule a dental evaluation for your pet promptly.

When to Seek Pet Dental Care
Regular dental check-ups are recommended for all pets, but it’s especially important to seek dental care if you notice any of the following signs:
- Persistent Bad Breath: Foul breath can indicate underlying dental issues such as periodontal disease or tooth decay.
- Changes in Eating Habits: Difficult chewing or eating reluctance can signal dental pain or discomfort.
- Visible Dental Problems: Any visible signs of dental issues, such as discolored teeth, swollen gums, or loose teeth, should be addressed promptly.
