Pet Dental Care in Peyton, CO

Welcome to Falcon Family Vet, where our veterinary team helps pets in Peyton, Falcon, and the surrounding areas keep their teeth and gums healthy.

Understanding Pet Dental Care

Why is dental care so important? Studies show that about 70% of adult cats and 80% of adult dogs have signs of oral disease. Dental disease is painful and can affect much more than your pet’s mouth.

Regular dental exams and cleanings under general anesthesia are essential to prevent bone loss and tissue inflammation. Left untreated, dental disease can increase your pet’s risk of heart, kidney, and liver disease. Falcon Family Vet offers professional teeth cleanings, dental radiographs, tooth extractions, dental repair, and dental surgery, and several of our veterinarians have a special interest in veterinary dentistry.

What to Expect: Pet Dental Care at Falcon Family Vet

Our dental care process is designed to keep your pet safe and comfortable while thoroughly treating their teeth and gums.

Oral Exam and Pre-Anesthetic Testing

We examine your pet’s mouth and recommend blood work to make sure they are healthy enough for anesthesia.

Safe General Anesthesia

Anesthesia allows us to clean thoroughly above and below the gumline while your pet stays still, comfortable, and pain-free. We monitor your pet throughout the procedure.

Professional Cleaning and Treatment

We clean and polish your pet’s teeth during a professional teeth cleaning and perform tooth extractions when teeth are too damaged or diseased to save.

Home Care Guidance

After the procedure, we review our findings and share tips for brushing and at-home dental care to keep your pet’s mouth healthy.

Why Dental Care Is Important for Your Pet

Healthy teeth and gums are essential to your pet’s comfort and overall health. Professional dental care stops dental disease from progressing and protects your pet’s major organs.

Relieves Pain and Infection

Treating diseased teeth and gums removes a source of chronic pain your pet may be hiding.

Protects Overall Health

Preventing dental disease lowers the risk of heart, kidney, and liver problems.

Prevents Tooth Loss

Regular cleanings stop bone loss and inflammation that can lead to loose or lost teeth.

Signs Your Pet May Need Dental Care

Watch for these common signs of dental disease:

  • Bad breath
  • Missing, broken, or discolored teeth
  • Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
  • Trouble or pain when eating
  • Pawing at the mouth or excessive drooling

If you notice any of these signs, contact Falcon Family Vet. We will be happy to help.

How Often Should Your Pet Receive Dental Care?

We check your pet’s teeth at every wellness exam. Many pets benefit from a professional dental cleaning about once a year, though some pets need cleanings more or less often depending on their breed, age, and dental health. Our veterinarians will recommend a schedule that fits your pet.
