Pet Dental Care Wayne

Good Dental Care Keeps Your Dog and Cat Healthy for a Long Life!

Dental care is an important part of caring for your pet. Just like humans, dogs and cats can have teeth and mouth problems if professional dental care is not a part of their regular routine. Aside from bad breath, poor dental health can result in oral infections, tooth loss and damage to your pet’s heart and kidneys. Periodontal disease also results in pain and discomfort for your pet, which can all be avoided with appropriate pet dental care in Wayne.

Professional Vet Dental Care in Wayne at Tri-County Animal Hospital

Prophylactic dental treatments at Tri-County Animal Hospital in Wayne along with at-home brushing can prevent your pet from experiencing the major health effects of advanced periodontal disease. Our prophylactic dental care in Wayne includes complete ultrasonic scaling, root planing and polishing. We place your pet under anesthesia and perform a comprehensive oral examination and examine individual teeth for mobility, fractures, malocclusion and periodontal disease. We remove plaque and tartar using hand instruments and power scaling equipment, and finally give your pet’s teeth a thorough ultrasonic cleaning and polishing. During examination, it is possible a condition requiring an advanced dental procedure may be identified. The findings will be discussed with you while your pet is still under anesthesia so that you can make the best treatment decision.

At Home Pet Dental Care in Wayne

At home brushing and preventative care is very important. For dogs AND cats, regular at-home brushing is an important part of a good dental program. Brushing your pet’s teeth every day will reduce or eliminate plaque buildup. Our staff will show you how to brush your pet’s teeth at home. Brushing your pet’s teeth at the same time each day with a pet toothpaste (do not use human toothpaste) and a brushing device (toothbrush, finger brush, gauze on your finger, etc.) is the most effective means of removing plaque from your pet’s teeth. If you have any questions on how to brush your pet’s teeth, please give us a call. We understand how difficult brushing your pet’s teeth can be, so we can also recommend other home-care options including oral rinses and appropriate chew toys.

If you are looking for a veterinarian look no further. This place literally is amazing and clean. Dr. Torres and Dr. Silberman are the best! I remember bringing my kitten the first time hysterically crying because I never owned a pet before but they made sure to calm me down and reassure me that everything was going to be ok. The staff is one of the friendliest and most professional I've ever met. 10/10 will literally exceed all your expectations.

We took our nervous 2-year old cat (Hobbes) to Tri-County Animal Hospital for the first time, and the experience we had with this facility was excellent. From the initial call of setting up the appointment, the staff came across as professional and kind. It's not always fun taking a cat to the vet, but the staff were warm towards Hobbes and did their best to make her feel comfortable.

They absolutely get it ! The best Veterinarians, the best support staff. I moved this past year and decided to try another animal hospital closer to me. Bad mistake, lesson learned ! What a relief to be back where quality of care and expertise resides.

From my first consultation with Dr Torres, over the phone, she was asking loads of questions trying to get as much information about Charly. That left an incredible impression on me as other doctors would just rush me off the phone. I also can't say enough about everyone else that works there. So glad I brought my girls to you.

I've had wonderful experiences at Tri-County. The vets are empathetic, caring, patient, thorough, and funny, too. Things are explained to me and I am given options. The staff are also friendly, helpful, engaging, and are always glad to see us. Very happy to have the Tri-County team care for my dogs!

Wonderful Doctors and staff at this hospital. Both Dr. Silberman and Dr. Torres have been very attentive, thorough and knowledgeable with my fur baby. Also need to mention that this is the only animal hospital that I have been to that doesn't smell like one. That is always the first thing I notice when I first walk in the door and tells me that the hospital is kept clean. Love this. It's a bit of a trek for me but so worth the trip. I highly recommend!!
