Dog & Cat Dental Care in Lincoln Park, Chicago
Mid North Animal Hospital provides dental assessments, professional cleanings under anesthesia and digital dental X-rays for dogs and cats in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood. Our team can assess your pet’s teeth and gums, explain recommended care and help you plan the next step.
Start with a dental assessment
We check your pet’s teeth during routine wellness exams. If we find a concern, we may recommend a dental procedure at a separate appointment. Contact us if you notice bad breath, difficulty eating, excessive drooling, bleeding gums, or a loose or broken tooth. An examination helps us determine what care your pet needs.
Professional cleaning and dental X-rays
Dental care includes more than what you can see at home. Professional cleaning removes plaque and tartar, while digital dental X-rays help us examine structures beneath the gumline. The findings help your veterinarian identify problems and recommend treatment for your pet.
We perform dental procedures under general anesthesia so your pet can remain still and our team can carry out a thorough assessment and cleaning.
Anesthesia and preparing for your visit
Before a dental procedure, we assess your pet and perform pre-anesthetic bloodwork. Our staff monitor your pet during anesthesia and recovery. Anesthesia has risks, and your veterinarian will discuss considerations specific to your pet.
Follow the food, water and medication instructions our team provides for your pet’s appointment. If you have questions about preparing your pet, call us before changing their usual routine.
Recovery and care at home
Our team will explain when your pet can go home and provide instructions based on the procedure performed. These may include feeding guidance and medication instructions. Contact us if you are concerned about your pet’s recovery.
Regular home care can help control plaque between visits. Ask our team about brushing and products appropriate for your pet. Brushing does not replace a veterinary assessment or a professional cleaning when one is needed.
