VETERINARY DENTAL REFERRAL CENTER

Northeast Veterinary Hospital has accepted dental referrals from veterinarians for the past 21 years.  If you are interested in obtaining dental care for your pet, please request your veterinarian refer your pet to our dental service.

Your pet will receive a complete dental examination with intraoral radiographs.  You may request an estimate prior to the procedure.  Most dental procedures are completed so that the patient will be able to be discharged in the afternoon.  Usually overnight hospital stays are not necessary. 

We attempt to answer all your questions, and are available for telephone consultations.  A complete report is faxed or emailed to the referring veterinarian when the dental procedures have been completed and the healing process has been monitored.

The greatest threat to your pet's good health is periodontal disease.  If periodontitis is left untreated, other organ systems may suffer as a result.  Prevention of periodontal disease is vital to your pet's health.  Prevention consists of (1) regular dental cleanings and dental exams, (2) brushing or wiping the pet's teeth or using an anti-plaque product especially made for pets, (3) providing healthy chews or chew toys to aid in the mechanical removal of plaque, and (4) vaccination against the major types of bacteria that cause periodontal disease.  It takes a united approach to prevent the threat of periodontal disease, but now we have the tools to help us succeed.  Do not hesitate to ask  how you can help your pet have good oral health and kissing sweet breath.

Look into your pet's mouth and see if there are yellowish or brownish discolorations on the teeth.  Are there any fractured teeth?  Is a tooth loose or mobile?  Is bad breath present?
Are the teeth crowded together with food packed between them?  These are problems that we can address.

Dental problems do not go away on their own.  They have to be treated.  It is not normal for a dog to lose all his/her teeth.  We want to work with you to improve the health of your companion.  We want to save your pet's teeth.
