What Our Animal Dental Care Includes:

At Deep River Veterinary Hospital, PC, we understand that animal dental care is essential to your pet’s overall health and happiness. Our services include:


  • Preventive Cleanings & Exams: We perform comprehensive dental evaluations to identify early signs of periodontal disease such as plaque, tartar, gum inflammation, or tooth decay. We recommend professional cleanings to keep your oral hygiene in check.
  • Advanced Oral Surgery: Our experienced team, led by Dr. Haggerty, performs animal oral surgery for extractions, trauma repair, and complex conditions like malocclusions or oral masses. We tailor anesthesia and surgery protocols to ensure the utmost safety and comfort of your pet.
  • Home Care Support: Good home dental care is key! Brushing with veterinary-grade toothpaste, using VOHC-approved chews, and dental diets help minimize plaque buildup between exams. Our team guides pet owners on integrating brushing, quality dental diets, and oral hygiene routines into daily life.


Animal dental care is not just about fresh breath; it protects your pet from serious health risks. Without it, bacteria from periodontal disease can spread to the heart, liver, and kidneys, reducing quality of life and longevity. Regular cleanings and oral surgery when needed prevent pain, infection, and tooth loss while enhancing eating comfort and overall well-being.

Check For Signs Of Dental Distress

Dental problems in pets are similar to those that humans experience. Outside of visual signs such as bleeding gums, broken or chipped teeth, swollen gums, and tooth discoloration, you should also take notice of your pet’s eating habits. If your pet seems to be chewing abnormally or refuses to eat at all, we strongly encourage you to take a look inside the mouth to see if there are any issues that may have gone unseen. 

Teeth cleanings and extractions may be needed to help prevent further distress for your pet. Rest assured, we will take exceptional care to make sure that your furry friend is as comfortable as possible during their procedure. If you live in or around High Point, NC; Greensboro, NC; or Jamestown, NC, we hope you’ll give our veterinary clinic a call for animal dental care!
