Proactive Pet Dentistry in Delray Beach, Florida
A brilliant smile is just the beginning—true wellness starts with exceptional dental care. Yet, research shows up to 80% of dogs and 70% of cats develop periodontal disease by age three. That’s far too common for our standards. From routine cleanings to advanced procedures, Paws Veterinary Clinic offers comprehensive, personalized care to support long-term comfort and health.
Tailored Dental Plans for Every Pet
Every smile tells a different story. Our highly skilled veterinarians take time to evaluate your pet’s oral health and recommend a care plan that suits them best. Whether that means preventive care at home, a professional cleaning under anesthesia, or a non-anesthetic option, we’ll walk you through the best path forward.
Common Signs of Dental Disease Include:
It is important to maintain a dental routine for your pet. While annual exams help us avoid potential issues, some signs may warrant a sooner visit. If you notice any of the following, it’s a good idea to give us a call:
- Persistent bad breath can be a sign of dental infection
- Drooling or pawing at the mouth
- Difficulty eating
- Loose or discolored teeth
- Swelling around the gums or face
Advanced Equipment, Elevated Experience
We’re proud to offer full-mouth dental X-rays with every cleaning, which allows us to detect issues beneath the surface. For surgical extractions, our Vet-Tome system gently separates teeth without damaging the surrounding bone to reduce discomfort and speed up recovery.
Most pets return home the same day after their dental procedure, and we’re always here to support a smooth recovery. Whether it’s a cleaning, an extraction, or a complete dental workup, our goal is the same: a healthy, pain-free smile for your furry friend.
Anesthetic and Non-Anesthetic Options
Client choice is key—we’re here to empower thoughtful, confident decisions every step of the way. For eligible pets, we offer both anesthetic and non-anesthetic dental cleanings. During your visit, we’ll discuss what’s most appropriate based on your pet’s health, temperament, and needs.
The Importance of At-Home Dental Care
Prevention doesn’t stop when you leave our clinic. We recommend using products approved by the Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC) to help support your pet’s dental health between visits. Explore VOHC-approved dental products here.
