Dentistry

When is the last time your pet had their teeth cleaned?  Have they ever had their teeth cleaned?

If it’s been a while or if there are signs of periodontal disease such as especially bad breath, redness and bleeding around the gum-line, yellow or brown plaque build-up, or exposed roots, bring your pet in for a dental consultation.  

At the visit Dr. McGarity can determine a treatment plan and present you with a comprehensive estimate for what to expect financially.  

We will be able to walk you through the cleaning procedure, show you before and after photos of other patients, and possibly get your pet started on a course of antibiotics to decrease infection prior to any necessary extractions. ‘

We are proud of our dental health capabilities at Mill Town Vet.  

With a top of the line dental machine including ultrasonic scaler and high-speed drill we can safely and effectively clean and remove any diseased teeth.  We are also able to adequately examine a patient’s mouth under anesthesia and can remove any suspicious growths while they are anesthetized.

Only the most modern and safest anesthesia protocols are used and our monitoring and patient warming capabilities ensure your pet is safe and wakes up quickly and comfortably as soon as the procedure is finished.

And, as always, if there is something Dr. McGarity feels should be addressed at a referral center, he will help you find the right veterinary dental specialist for the job.
