Where Your Pet Comes First
Professional Dental Services in Toronto for Your Pet
Dental hygiene is one of the most overlooked issues when it comes to pets. It is as important in dogs and cats as it is among humans. Most pet owners don’t even notice any oral discomfort that their pet might be experiencing, which leads to further complications. You might think that your pet is happy and lives a life unbothered by dental concerns, but that is far from reality.
The reason for this goes back to the pet’s ancestry; in the wild, showing pain would make an animal susceptible to attacks. Therefore they try to hide any discomfort. But according to vets, 85 percent of canines over age 4 suffer from some form of gum disease.
Kato Animal Hospital offers the best dental services in Toronto for your pets. The highest percentage of complaints we get about one’s pet’s oral hygiene is bad breath. Although it may seem harmless, more often than not, it is typically one of the symptoms of a severe dental disease known as Periodontal disease.
Periodontal disease can lead to loss of teeth and other severe effects like widespread organ damage. Another dental disease that your pet may be suffering from is Gingivitis. Continuous neglect of oral hygiene can lead to the formation of tartar underneath your pet’s gums that makes the gums red & inflamed and eventually results in Gingivitis.
Your pet may be living a very uncomfortable life, and you might not even know it. Here at Kato Animal Hospital in Toronto, we have all the tools in our arsenal to diagnose and treat your pet’s dental problems that may be as simple as a plaque buildup to as severe as Periodontal disease.

Subgingival Hand-Scaling
This method allows us to remove the subgingival calculus from the tooths’ surface. It is a very meticulous process that eliminates as much debris and inflamed tissue as possible to prevent diseases like Periodontal or Gingivitis.
Tooth Extractions and Re-alignment
Sometimes, your pet may be suffering from Malocclusion, which is a misalignment of the lower and upper jaw. While this may be normal for some breeds, your pet may have difficulty chewing in other extreme cases.
Our professionals can diagnose and evaluate these problems with precision and help your pet by re-aligning, capping, or extracting their teeth if needed. If you feel like your pet is having any difficulty while eating, get in touch with us today for a dental diagnosis.
