Your Pet’s Dental Cleaning Schedule with Our Carol Stream Veterinarian

Our Carol Stream veterinarian wants to help you keep your pet’s teeth clean by scheduling regular cleanings and examinations. Your pet’s dental examination schedule will depend on the condition of your pet’s teeth and his or her age.

Puppies and Kittens

Puppies and kittens should have their mouths examined shortly after they are weaned. This ensures that their teeth are developing correctly and checks for early indications of oral health problems. After the initial checkup, you should have your pet’s teeth professionally cleaned at least once a year or if you notice any oral health problems, like bad breath, swollen gums, and excessive drool.

Adult Dogs and Cats

Our veterinarian can help you develop an oral health schedule for your pet. Depending on your pet’s breed, size, and what they eat, your pet could need a cleaning every six months to every three years. In general, we recommend at least one appointment with our veterinary dentist every 12 months.

Senior Pets

Senior pets are prone to tooth decay more than younger pets. For this reason, we often recommend oral health exams and cleanings every six months. This will help ensure your pet’s mouth stays healthy.
