Dental department: animal oral health

Diagnostics in veterinary dentistry: examination, jaw X-ray, gum assessment

To ensure accurate treatment, we first perform a dental examination of the animal and assess the gums, bite, the presence of tartar, and the condition of individual teeth. When symptoms are unclear, imaging helps: an X-ray of the jaw allows the animal to see what is hidden under the gums and detect hidden dental pathologies in animals in a timely manner.

After the diagnosis, the doctor forms a plan and explains what to do now and what can be postponed. If you need a consultation with a veterinary dentist for animals in Kyiv, you can get it at the Trinity clinic in Kyiv, check with the administrator for details.

Tartar and plaque: how ultrasonic cleaning and polishing works

When tartar builds up in a cat or plaque is visible on a dog's teeth, it becomes painful for the animal to chew and the bad breath increases. In such cases, we perform an ultrasound scaler on the animal's teeth, and then polish the animal's teeth so that the surface is smoother and plaque does not stick as quickly.

It is important that this is not "cosmetics", but the prevention of inflammation. If you need to clean your dog's teeth with ultrasound or clean your cat's teeth under anesthesia, we explain the stages, select a safe protocol and monitor the condition during the procedure.

Gingivitis and periodontitis: causes, treatment tactics, monitoring in dynamics

When bleeding, bad breath and discomfort occur, it is most often due to gum disease. We treat gums in animals and eliminate the cause of inflammation, in particular periodontitis in dogs or similar conditions in cats.

After the procedures, the owner receives a clear care plan to reduce the risk of relapse. Regular monitoring is especially important if the animal has already had gingivitis or signs of chronic inflammation.

Stomatitis in cats: why it occurs, how to alleviate the condition, how to control relapses

Stomatitis in cats often requires a systemic approach: it is important to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and remove factors that support the problem. We assess the condition of the mucous membrane, teeth, and gums, select therapy, and explain to the owner what control looks like over time.

When the process is long-term and there is chronic inflammation of the cat's oral cavity, we act in stages so that the animal does not suffer every day. In such cases, discipline at home and repeated examinations are of great importance.

Tooth extraction and recovery: post-procedure care, nutrition, pain control

Sometimes the only way to remove the source of pain and infection is to extract a tooth from a dog or cat. The decision to extract is made after an examination and, if necessary, an X-ray to rule out complications such as an abscess or fistula.

After the procedure, we provide anesthesia, prescribe a diet and regimen so that the healing is calm. If you need to remove the affected teeth of the animal, clarify the details with the administrator, and also do not hesitate to ask questions about follow-up examinations.

Preparing for dental procedures under anesthesia: what is important for the owner to know

To prepare the animal for the procedure, we clarify the general condition, concomitant diagnoses, drug reactions, and if necessary, prescribe additional examinations. This is how we select a protocol when safe anesthesia for animals in dentistry and stability during the doctor's work are important.

Monitoring and pain control are mandatory during anesthesia. We explain to the owner how the awakening will take place and what to pay attention to at home to ensure a comfortable recovery.

Prevention at home: how to reduce the risk of tartar and maintain healthy gums

Prevention really works if it is regular. We suggest how to brush a dog's teeth, how to organize dental care for a cat, and how proper hygiene can help reduce the risk of tartar. Everything is selected according to the nature of the animal and the habits of the family, without fanaticism, but with benefit.

If you are interested in preventing tartar in dogs or need a care plan after professional cleaning, make an appointment for an examination. For animals in Kyiv, an appointment is available at the Trinity Veterinary Hospital, check with the administrator for details.
