Cat & Dog Dental Cleaning in Omaha

Protecting Your Pet’s Smile & Overall Health

At The Ridge Veterinary Clinic in Omaha we know your pet’s dental health is more than just a bright smile, it’s a vital part of your cat or dog's overall well-being. Dental disease is one of the most common health problems in both cats and dogs, affecting up to 85% of pets over two years old. Left untreated, it can lead to pain, tooth loss, and even serious conditions involving the heart, liver, or kidneys.

Why Cat & Dog Dental Cleanings Matters

  • Prevents painful gum disease and tooth loss
  • Helps protect vital organs from bacteria spread
  • Supports better eating habits and comfort
  • Can extend your pet’s overall lifespan
  • Improves breath and quality of life

Signs Your Pet May Have Dental Disease 

If your cat or dog shows any of these symptoms, it may be time for a professional teeth cleaning:

  • Persistent bad breath
  • Drooling, pawing at the mouth, or dropping food
  • Loose, discolored, or tartar-covered teeth
  • Sensitivity or bleeding around the mouth
  • Difficulty eating or loss of appetite

Professional Cat & Dog Teeth Cleanings 

Our cat and dog teeth cleanings are performed under anesthesia for your pet’s safety and comfort. Before anesthesia, we run bloodwork to ensure your pet is healthy enough for the procedure. During the cleaning, we provide: 

  • Comprehensive dental exams
  • Ultrasonic scaling to remove plaque and tartar
  • Tooth polishing to slow future buildup
  • Digital dental X-rays to check below the gumline
  • Extractions when necessary to eliminate pain or infection

At-Home Dental Care for Cats & Dogs

You can help protect your pet’s teeth between professional cleanings with:

  • Daily tooth brushing using pet-safe toothpaste
  • Dental chews or oral rinses to reduce bacteria
  • Specialized dental diets that support oral health
