Proper Dental Care Prolongs Your Pet’s Life
Did you know that more than 80% of dogs and 70% of cats experience some form of dental disease by the time they turn three years old? Dental issues in pets can lead to significant discomfort, affecting their ability to eat and play. If these problems are not addressed promptly, they can escalate, becoming both more complicated and costly to treat.
Dental disease in pets can lead to:
- Bad breath
- Bleeding gums
- Loose teeth
- Painful eating
- Drooling excessively
- Behavioral changes including disturbance of routine, or acting in ways that aren’t their normal, could indicate they’re experiencing some sort of mouth pain.
Periodontal disease may also cause systemic issues like heart or kidney disease.
As the best human ever, providing them with proper dental care is essential. We offer treatments in-office to alleviate discomfort and reduce the risk of further complications.
Our fear-free procedures take the worry out of dental work. If you, the best human ever, are afraid of the dentist, imagine how frightened our pets often are. This is why fear-free dentistry is so important.

At Revel Vet, our dental procedures may include the following steps to ensure your pet’s oral health is fully managed and maintained:
Professional Teeth Cleanings
How often do you brush your teeth? Most people brush one or two times each day and make regular visits to the dentist for check-ups. Our dog’s teeth are important to maintain just as ours are.
As part of their annual wellness exams, we conduct a thorough examination of your pet’s teeth and gums. From there we will assign an overall health grade of the teeth and gums ranging from Grade 1 – 4. This process is known as COHAT (Comprehensive Oral Health Assessment and Treatment). We will share your dog’s results and discuss the best course of action.
Additional Dental Services
If a cleaning is recommended, we’ll talk about what the procedure entails, how it would improve your pet’s health, and what you can do to help them feel better prior to their upcoming dental appointment.
In general, the gold standard for dental cleaning includes:
- Anesthesia: To ensure the safety and comfort of your pet during the cleaning, anesthesia is administered. This allows for a more thorough cleaning as the pet remains still and stress-free.
- Scaling: This involves removing plaque and tartar buildup from the surface of the teeth, both above and below the gum line, using specialized dental tools.
- Polishing: After scaling, the teeth are polished to smooth out any scratches to the tooth enamel, which helps prevent further plaque accumulation.
Dental X-Rays
It’s important to note that nearly 60% of dental problems in pets occur beneath the gum line, where they aren’t visible. Dental X-rays help us find these hidden issues. Plaque and tartar build-up below the gum line can lead to infections that not only damage the jawbone and surrounding tissues but can also affect your pet’s overall health.
Unlike many practices, we offer in-house digital dental X-rays. Our high-detail, specialized dental imaging equipment allows our team to grab the best images possible. Based on the X-ray results, we may recommend certain necessary treatments such as tooth extractions or address other dental issues.
Tooth Extractions
If we discover that your pet has an infected or broken tooth causing discomfort, extraction might be the best course of action to alleviate their pain and prevent further complications. We will offer a detailed explanation of the extraction procedure so you fully understand what it involves.
We will guide you through the aftercare process, providing clear instructions on how to care for your pet during their recovery. This includes:
- Managing any pain
- Ensuring the healing area remains clean
- Monitoring for signs of infection
- Altering your pet’s diet if-needed following dental procedures (more likely in extraction cases)

We Do Dental Care Different at Revel Queen Creek
You’re the best human ever! Choosing fear-free dental work for your pet saves them immense stress and anxiety.
Does My Dog or Cat Really Need Dental Care?
Yes, dental care is critical for your pet’s well-being. Here’s why:
- Disease prevention: Dental problems can lead to more concerning issues, including complications with their heart, liver, and kidneys due to bacteria in the bloodstream.
- Preventing oral pain: If you’ve ever had a toothache, you likely know how painful it is. We don’t want our pets to be in pain, but they’ll try to hide it for as long as possible. That’s another reason regular maintenance is important.
- Overall wellness: Healthy teeth and gums allow your pets to eat comfortably and maintain their high quality of life.
…and contrary to popular belief…
- Your pet’s breath isn’t supposed to smell bad. In fact, bad breath could be a sign of periodontal disease. Regular dental care can make their breath much more pleasant.
- Your pet could be in pain without you knowing it. Pets often hide pain. Signs of dental issues may not be obvious until the problem has become severe. Regular check-ups can catch issues early before they lead to more serious conditions.
- Dental care may seem expensive, but it’s nothing compared to treating advanced dental diseases, infections, or other systemic issues that result from neglected teeth.
The team at Revel Vet will show the pet parents the best way to brush their pets’ teeth and will recommend our favorite dental health maintenance products so you can keep your pet’s teeth healthy and pain-free.
