Dental Services

Periodontal disease is the most common infectious disease of our companion animals.  If left untreated, it can lead to oral pain, bad breath, tooth loss, and even systemic infections.

Veterinary dental care is one of the most important services provided at our hospital.  Every exam includes a thorough dental evaluation.  Dental cleanings and possible extractions are recommended for all animals with periodontal disease, and as a preventative measure for animals with warning signs.

Our hospital offers the latest in dental technology, including:

• Ultrasonic Scaling
• High/Low Speed Drilling & Polishing
• Digital Dental X-rays

Friendship Animal Hospital is one of the few hospitals in the Kalamazoo metro area with digital x-ray capability.  This capability reduces anesthesia time because digital x-rays do not require development and can be evaluated immediately by the veterinarian.
