Dental Care

Strong Smiles Start Here

Help your pet live a longer, healthier life with complete dental care.

Dental disease is a hidden threat—but one that’s completely treatable and preventable.

At Central Hospital for Animals in Marion, we take dental health seriously. From bad breath to severe infections, dental problems are common in pets and often missed by even the most attentive owners. The good news? Regular dental care can prevent disease, relieve pain, and improve your pet’s overall health and happiness. Our dental services are designed to do just that—with safe techniques, modern tools, and a kind, professional touch.

What Happens During a Dental Visit?

We begin with a thorough oral exam to check every tooth, assess the gums, and identify issues like plaque, fractures, or loose teeth. If treatment is needed, we schedule a professional cleaning under anesthesia to ensure comfort and safety. Our team uses ultrasonic scalers to remove plaque and tartar from all surfaces, including below the gumline. We polish the teeth, apply fluoride, and may take dental x-rays if we suspect hidden problems.

Why Dental Care Is a Must

Your pet can’t tell you when their mouth hurts—but untreated dental disease can cause significant pain and lead to systemic illness. Infections in the gums and teeth can spread to the bloodstream, affecting major organs. By investing in routine dental care, you’re giving your pet the best chance at a long, healthy life.

Our Dental Services Include:

• Oral exam and charting of each tooth
• General anesthesia and full patient monitoring
• Scaling, polishing, and fluoride treatment
• X-rays (if needed) to assess tooth and bone health
• Bacterial rinse and pain management when appropriate
• Home care advice and follow-up support
