Dentistry

At Hanover Animal Hospital, we believe in providing comprehensive care for your pet’s dental health, and that includes using specialized dental X-rays. While a thorough visual exam can help identify obvious dental issues like tartar buildup or gum disease, many dental problems remain hidden beneath the surface. This is where dental X-rays come in.

Dental X-rays allow us to examine the internal structures of your pet’s teeth and jaw, revealing potential issues that aren’t visible during a routine exam. These can include:

• Tooth fractures that may go unnoticed

• Root infections or abscesses, which can cause pain or lead to further complications

• Bone loss or gum disease that can affect your pet’s overall health

• Tumors or other abnormal growths in the mouth

• Infected or damaged teeth that require extractions or other treatments

By using advanced imaging technology, we can diagnose these conditions early and develop a more effective treatment plan, potentially preventing serious health problems down the road. Dental X-rays ensure that your pet’s teeth and gums are thoroughly examined, even in hard-to-see areas, providing a clearer picture of their overall dental health.

If your pet needs a dental cleaning or procedure, dental X-rays are an essential part of the process. They help us ensure that your pet receives the most accurate diagnosis and appropriate care, all while keeping them as comfortable as possible throughout their visit.
