Dental Disease Statistics

Murrayville Veterinary Clinic sees more pets with dental disease than any other problem. Statistics show that dental disease is the most common disease in dogs. 92% of dogs over the age of three are affected. Although less prevalent in cats, statistics show that 85% of cats over the age of three struggle with the disease. However, scheduling annual pet dental cleanings can add 2-4 years to your pet’s life!

Pet Dental Cleanings - What to Expect?

While under general anesthesia, your dog or cat can receive a thorough dental cleaning. Murrayville Veterinary Clinic uses a safe anesthetic and monitors your pet’s heart rate, oxygen and respiration.

Before dental care begins, blood tests are done to help uncover any underlying illnesses, and we examine the animal’s entire mouth, including lips, tongue, gums and teeth.
