What Is Veterinary Dentistry?
Veterinary dentistry includes a range of services aimed at maintaining your pet’s oral health. Just like humans, pets can develop plaque, tartar buildup, gum disease, and painful infections if their teeth and gums aren’t cared for properly.
At Sullivan Veterinary Service, we provide thorough oral exams, professional dental cleanings, and treatment for dental conditions—all performed with your pet’s comfort and safety as our top priorities.
Our Dental Services Include
- Comprehensive oral exams under anesthesia for accurate evaluation
- Ultrasonic scaling and polishing to remove plaque and tartar
- Tooth extractions when needed to relieve pain or infection
- Digital dental X-rays (if applicable) for internal tooth structure assessment
- Home care guidance, including brushing tips and recommended dental chews
Each dental procedure is performed under general anesthesia and monitored closely to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety. Our experienced team uses up-to-date tools and techniques to provide thorough care with minimal stress to your pet.

Why Is Dental Care Important for Pets?
Periodontal disease is one of the most common health issues in adult dogs and cats, affecting over 70% of pets by age three. Left untreated, dental disease can lead to chronic pain, tooth loss, bad breath, and even serious health complications involving the heart, liver, and kidneys.
Regular dental cleanings and exams help detect issues early, prevent disease progression, and reduce the risk of costly or invasive treatments down the line.
