Pet Dental Care
The dental health of your pet is more crucial than you would realise.
The Importance of Cat & Dog Teeth Cleaning in Oregon, WI
Your pet’s oral hygiene plays an important role in its overall well-being. Clean teeth promote a healthy bite, fresh breath, and a happy pet. When teeth are not routinely cleaned, plaque and tartar build-up, causing foul breath, inflamed gums, and discolored teeth. Over time, it can cause oral diseases such as gingivitis and periodontal disease.
Dental issues don’t only affect your pet’s mouth; they can affect your pet’s quality of life and systemic health, too. At Country View Veterinary Service, we offer professional cat and dog teeth cleaning in Oregon, WI, to prevent and reverse dental disease.

At our Oregon location, we perform complete teeth cleaning services that help to remove plaque and tartar and prevent dental disease, as well as correct any dental issues we do see.

How You Can Help Prevent Dental Disease at Home
Routine teeth cleanings at our Oregon, WI location are not the only defense against the dental disease! You play an important role in maintaining your pet’s oral hygiene at home. The single best way to prevent plaque and tartar build-up is to brush your pet’s teeth daily. Even brushing them a couple of times a week is effective! Yet, we also understand that some cats and dogs are uncooperative when it comes to teeth brushing, so we do offer other options:
- Finger brush (which is sometimes better tolerated than a pet toothbrush)
- Dental chews (such as CET chews)
- Dental treats (such as Greenies)
- Water additives
- Prescription, dental diets
