Pet Dental Care in San Antonio, TX

At Converse Animal Hospital, we know that dental health is a crucial part of your pet’s overall well-being. Poor oral hygiene can lead to serious health issues, including infections that affect the heart, liver, and kidneys. In fact, studies show that 80% of dogs and 70% of cats over the age of three suffer from some form of dental disease, making it one of the most common yet overlooked pet health concerns.

Signs of Dental Disease in Pets

Pets can’t tell us when they’re in pain, so it’s important to recognize the warning signs of dental disease:
  • Bad breath (more than just “doggy breath”)
  • Yellow or brown tartar buildup on the teeth
  • Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
  • Difficulty eating or a decrease in appetite
  • Pawing at the mouth or excessive drooling
If your pet is experiencing any of these symptoms, a professional dental exam and cleaning may be necessary.

How We Protect Your Pet’s Oral Health

The most effective way to prevent periodontal disease and maintain your pet’s overall health is through routine professional dental cleanings. At Converse Animal Hospital, we offer comprehensive oral exams to assess the condition of your pet’s teeth and gums. Our professional teeth cleaning services remove plaque and tartar buildup, reducing the risk of infections and gum disease.
To further protect your pet’s dental health, we provide scaling and polishing treatments that help strengthen the enamel and prevent future plaque accumulation. We also perform deep cleanings beneath the gumline, where harmful bacteria can hide and cause long-term damage. In cases where teeth are severely damaged or infected, our team may recommend dental extractions to relieve pain and prevent further complications.

Home Care for Your Pet’s Teeth

In addition to professional cleanings, you can help maintain your pet’s oral health at home with:
  • Daily brushing using pet-safe toothpaste
  • Dental chews and treats that help reduce plaque
  • Water additives designed to support oral hygiene
