Professional Pet Dentistry & Teeth Cleaning in Fort Myers, FL

Regular, professional dental care is a cornerstone of your pet’s health. At Tails-A-Waggin Animal Hospital, we specialize in preventative oral care to protect your dogs and cats from the hidden dangers of periodontal disease.

Plaque and tartar buildup on your pet’s teeth can quickly lead to gingivitis. Common warning signs include reddened or bleeding gums, difficulty chewing, and persistent bad breath. If left untreated, these bacteria can enter the bloodstream, causing potential damage to your pet’s kidneys, heart, and liver.

Comprehensive Veterinary Dental Services on Kelly Road

To maintain consistent oral health, we recommend an annual professional dental exam. Our Fort Myers facility uses advanced technology to ensure your pet’s safety and comfort throughout the process.

Our Dental Wellness Package Includes:

• Comprehensive Oral Examination: Performed under safe anesthesia to allow for a detailed inspection of every tooth, the gums, and the oral cavity.
• Digital Dental X-Rays: Essential for diagnosing fractured teeth or infections hiding below the gum line.
• Ultrasonic Scaling & Polishing: We use modern ultrasonic instruments to remove plaque and tartar both above and below the gum line, finishing with a polish to create a smooth surface resistant to future buildup.
• Advanced Pain Management: Comprehensive protocols before, during, and after any procedure to ensure your pet remains comfortable.
• Surgical Extractions: Expert care for severely infected or fractured teeth that cannot be saved.

Good pet dental care doesn’t end when you leave our hospital. Following your pet’s procedure or during a routine wellness exam, our team provides Lee County pet owners with the training needed for at-home maintenance.
