Preventive Dental Care
Routine dental care matters.
Dental care is much more than a pretty smile or good breath, it is about quality of life and optimal health. Dental care is necessary to prevent pain and infection to other organs. Do you need to worry about your cat’s teeth? Absolutely! Dental disease is the most common health problem in cats, with 70% of cats 3 years and older affected with periodontal disease. It is often a “silent disease,” with most owners unaware the disease is happening.
Downtown Toronto Cat Clinic is proud to have state-of-the-art veterinary dental equipment and new dental x-rays. Our experienced veterinarian and staff have undergone extensive training in feline dentistry, which allows us to offer the highest level of dental care for your cat. We perform oral surgery including extractions and dental cleanings.
