Why Dental Health Matters for Dogs and Cats
Dental disease is one of the most common conditions we see in dogs and cats. By age three, many pets show signs of periodontal disease. Because pets instinctively hide pain, dental problems often go unnoticed until they become advanced.
Dental disease can lead to:
- Bad breath that does not improveKeep vaccinations current
- Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
- Tartar buildup
- Difficulty chewing
- Tooth loss
- Bacteria entering the bloodstream and affecting the heart, liver, or kidneys
Routine dental care is an important part of regular veterinary checkups. During your pet’s wellness exam, our veterinarians will evaluate the mouth and recommend professional cleaning when needed. Preventive care reduces discomfort and supports overall health.
If you notice changes in your pet’s eating habits or breath, contact us to schedule a dental evaluation.
Professional Dental Cleanings in Burbank
At Toluca Burbank Dog & Cat Hospital, our dental procedures are performed under anesthesia for safety, comfort, and thorough care. Anesthesia allows our veterinary team to clean below the gumline, where periodontal disease begins.
Each professional dental cleaning includes:
- Precision scaling to eliminate plaque and tartar buildup both above and beneath the gumline
- Polishing to smooth the tooth surface
- Digital dental radiographs
- Personalized treatment recommendations
We use modern monitoring equipment throughout anesthesia to ensure your pet’s safety. Your pet is closely supervised before, during, and after the procedure.
Our approach reflects who we are as a neighborhood veterinary clinic. Rooted in the Burbank community, we combine advanced tools with a personal, relationship-focused experience.
The Importance of Digital Dental Radiographs
Many dental problems occur below the gumline where they cannot be seen during a visual exam. In fact, a significant portion of dental disease hides beneath the surface.
Digital dental radiographs allow our veterinarian to:
- Detect infection at the tooth root
- Identify bone loss
- Evaluate fractured or damaged teeth
- Catch problems early before they progress
This technology helps us make informed decisions and create a treatment plan specific to your pet’s needs. Early detection can reduce discomfort and limit the need for more involved procedures later.
As a modern Burbank veterinary clinic, we are committed to offering updated diagnostic tools while maintaining the welcoming feel families have known for decades.

Frequently Asked Questions about Pet Dentistry
How often does my pet need dental cleaning?
Most dogs and cats benefit from professional dental cleaning once a year. Some breeds
or individuals prone to dental disease may need more frequent care. Our veterinarian will
make recommendations based on your pet’s exam.
Is anesthesia safe for dental procedures?
Anesthesia is necessary to properly clean below the gumline and obtain dental
radiographs. Before the procedure, we perform an exam and recommend lab work. Your
pet is continuously monitored throughout anesthesia to support safety.
Why are dental X-rays necessary?
Many dental problems are hidden beneath the gumline. Digital radiographs help detect
infection, bone loss, and damaged teeth that cannot be seen during a visual exam.
How do I know if my pet has dental disease?
Bad breath, visible tartar, red gums, and changes in eating habits are common signs.
Even if you do not see symptoms, dental disease can still be present. Routine veterinary
checkups are the best way to catch issues early.
