Caring for your pet’s teeth supports far more than a healthy smile
Dental health is a key part of your pet’s overall well-being. At Rockville Pike Animal Hospital, we provide comprehensive dental care in Rockville, MD to help maintain healthy teeth and gums. Our approach combines routine preventive cleanings with advanced treatment options to support your pet’s long-term oral health.
Professional Dental Cleaning
Thorough cleanings and preventive dental care
Our professional dental cleanings go beyond removing surface plaque. We begin with digital dental X-rays to assess what’s happening below the gumline and identify issues that may not be visible during an exam.
We then perform a complete cleaning above and below the gums using ultrasonic scaling. Each cleaning concludes with polishing, and additional protective treatments when appropriate, to help reduce future buildup and promote strong, healthy teeth.
Dental Health Assessment
Every visit begins with a complete oral evaluation
Each dental appointment starts with a thorough examination of your pet’s teeth, gums, tongue, and surrounding tissues. This detailed assessment allows us to detect signs of disease or injury early and develop a treatment plan tailored to your pet’s individual needs.
Home Dental Care Education
Healthy habits between visits make a lasting difference
We take time to demonstrate effective brushing techniques and discuss practical at-home care strategies that fit your routine. Our team can also recommend dental diets, chews, and products designed to support oral health and help slow plaque and tartar buildup between professional cleanings.
