Expert Pet Dental Care
When our pets are experiencing dental pain, we normally don’t know it. You may notice your pet favoring one side of their mouth when they play or eat, but most warning signs are not as obvious. As a matter of fact, pets seldom show symptoms of dental issues. Dental pain typically comes on slowly, and pets learn to live with it, but they might act a little odd. When those issues are treated appropriately, you will likely notice a happier, more carefree pet!
At Dominion Valley Animal Hospital, we are experts in caring for your pet’s dental needs. If an extraction is necessary, you can be confident your pet is in the best hands.

What Do Tooth Extractions Involve?
Procedures can vary depending on the tooth and the disease process. Prior to any extraction, we provide a nerve block that lasts six to eight hours to help minimize oral pain and discomfort.
With surgical extractions, we normally make incisions in the adjacent gum tissue to create a flap and reveal access to the tooth. We often need to remove the bone that covers each root, section the tooth into individual roots, and extract each root separately. The alveolus (socket) is flushed to remove any debris, and the extraction site is closed with absorbable sutures.
