🦷 Is your pet due for a dental checkup?

Just like us, our pets need regular dental care to stay healthy and happy. At Palisades Veterinary Clinic, we typically recommend dental procedures every two years—though timing can vary depending on your pet’s age and breed.

What many pet parents don’t realize is that 50% of your pet’s teeth are hidden beneath the gumline, which means a full assessment requires anesthesia and dental X-rays. Our skilled team of at least three veterinary professionals performs each procedure with care—from full mouth radiographs and oral surgery planning (if needed), to thorough scaling, polishing, and a protective enamel sealant.

🗓 Don’t wait for bad breath or dental pain to become an issue—book your pet’s dental appointment today and keep those tails wagging and whiskers smiling.
