Dental Care Regular professional cleaning is important to maintaining your pet's teeth. We use modern and safe ultrasound to clean each tooth thoroughly - above and below the gum line.

Dental x-ray equipment is also available to safely evaluate your pets dental health.

Advanced dental procedures performed at Old Derby Animal Clinic include: dental x-ray to fully assess the health of your pets tooth roots, placement of gingival antibiotics to repair moderately advanced gum and periodontal disease, gingivectomy to remove excessive or cancerous gum tissue, biopsy of abnormal oral tissues, and lastly extraction of teeth affected by advanced periodontal or endodontal disease.
