Pet Dentistry in Reno, NV
Oral health is essential for your pet’s overall well-being. At Fairgrounds Animal Hospital, we provide comprehensive pet dentistry services, including exams, dog teeth cleaning, and feline dental care. Regular dental care not only improves your pet’s comfort but also prevents serious health issues.
Why Pet Dentistry Matters
By age three, 80% of dogs and 70% of cats develop signs of oral disease. Left untreated, dental problems can lead to serious health issues like infections or heart disease. Regular visits to a pet dentist and at-home care can help prevent these issues and keep your pet healthier for longer.
When to Tell If Your Pet Needs Dental Care
It’s important to recognize the signs of dental problems early. Common symptoms include:
- Foul breath.
- Plaque and tartar buildup near the gumline.
- Red, swollen, or bleeding gums.
- Trouble chewing or favoring one side of the mouth.
- Pawing at the mouth or showing signs of discomfort.
- Excessive drooling.
- Loss of appetite or difficulty eating.
- Loose teeth or teeth falling out.
- Facial swelling or sneezing caused by oral infections.
If your pet shows any of these symptoms, book a dental exam to address potential issues promptly.

Home Dental Care Recommendations
Brushing your pet’s teeth regularly is the most effective way to maintain their oral health. Aim for daily brushing, but even 2-3 times per week can make a significant difference. We offer alternatives like dental chews and water additives for pets that resist brushing.
