At Wheaton Animal Hospital, we know that dental care is a vital piece of your pet’s overall health. Whether we’re treating a Yorkie puppy with stubborn baby teeth, a cat with painful resorptive lesions, or a rabbit with overgrown teeth, our goal is to prevent pain and protect long-term wellness. To help your pet’s smile stay bright and pain-free, we offer full-service dental care, including oral exams, teeth cleanings, digital X-rays, and extractions, for Kensington’s dogs, cats, and exotic pets.
Routine dental cleanings can prevent gum disease, tooth damage, and painful infections. Whether your pet is young or senior, small or large, furry or scaled, we tailor each dental visit to keep them feeling their best.
Our high-resolution dental radiographs let us see below the gumline to diagnose issues that might otherwise go unnoticed. They’re especially important for exotic pets, who are masters at hiding pain until it’s advanced.
Small mammals, like rabbits and guinea pigs, can suffer from overgrown teeth that result in pain when chewing. We provide careful tooth filing services to smooth sharp points and restore a comfortable bite.
Anesthesia keeps your pet still and stress-free while we clean below the gumline, take X-rays, and treat issues safely and thoroughly.
Once a year is ideal for most pets, but some breeds, especially small dogs or those with a history of periodontal problems, may need more frequent care.
Look for drooling, pawing at the mouth, difficulty eating, or avoiding toys and treats. Even subtle changes in behavior can indicate oral pain.
Yes! Rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, and reptiles often develop dental issues like overgrown teeth or abscesses. Regular exams are key to catching problems early.
Brushing is ideal, but dental diets, chews, rinses, or water additives can also help. We’ll work with you to find the best routine for your pet’s lifestyle.
