Dental Care in Indianapolis
Fresh Breath, Healthy Life
Dental disease is one of the most common conditions we see in adult dogs and cats — and also one of the most preventable. Regular dental checkups and professional cleanings protect your pet from pain, tooth loss, and even organ damage caused by oral bacteria entering the bloodstream.
What Happens During a Dental Exam?
A Thorough Evaluation
Our veterinarians perform a complete oral exam to check for plaque buildup, tartar, loose or broken teeth, and gum disease.
Safe, Professional Cleaning
Under anesthesia, we remove tartar from above and below the gumline, polish the teeth, and perform full-mouth dental X-rays to detect hidden problems.
Personalized Home Care Plans
We’ll show you how to care for your pet’s teeth at home with brushing techniques, dental diets, and vet-recommended chews to keep their smile clean between visits.
Signs Your Pet May Need Dental Care
- Bad breath or drooling
- Difficulty eating or dropping food
- Red or bleeding gums
- Pawing at the mouth or face
- Visible tartar buildup or loose teeth
Protecting More Than Just a Smile
Healthy teeth and gums play a major role in your pet’s overall health. By preventing infection and inflammation, routine dental care supports heart, liver, and kidney function — helping your pet live a longer, happier life.
At Brookville Road Animal Hospital, we’re passionate about making dental care safe, effective, and stress-free for both pets and their families.
