Your dentist veterinarian in the 17th arrondissement in Paris

Veterinary dentistry prevents, diagnoses and treats oral diseases in animals. The veterinarian (dog and cat dentist) takes care of teeth, gums and periodontal tissues.

The regular examinations are essential to detect periodontal diseases, because animals often hide their pain.

Treated dental pathologies

Here are the more common problems we are dealing with in our veterinary clinic, a consultation will be necessary to test your animal.

Periodontal disease

Common in animals, it begins with plaque- and tartar-bound gingivitis. Untreated, it evolves into periodontitis, destroying supporting tissue and causing tooth loss.

Dentary Fractures (Dent Cassée)

Often caused by the chewing of hard objects. A broken tooth with exposed pulp is very painful and is an entry door for infections. Requires rapid treatment.

Gingivite

Reversible inflammation of gums, first stage of periodontal disease. It manifests itself in redness and bleeding, often linked to inadequate oral hygiene or plaque.

Dental tart

Yellowish or brown hard deposit formed by mineralization of the dental plaque. It irritates the gums, promotes inflammation and requires professional grading to be eliminated.

Abscess Dentaires

Accumulation of pus at the root of an infected tooth. Causes intense pain, facial swelling and sometimes fever. Rapid treatment is essential to avoid serious systemic complications.

Chronic Stomatitis Feline

Severe inflammation of the mouth in cats, often of immune or viral origin. Very painful, it requires veterinary follow-up to relieve the animal and avoid general deterioration.

Frequently Asked Questions Veterinary dentistry

Here you can find answers to the most frequently asked questions for dentist veterinarians.

The persistent bad breath is abnormal. This is often the sign of an accumulation of tartar and bacteria, indicating gingivitis or periodontal disease. Dental consultation is required to identify and treat the cause. Don't delay, contact our clinic.

There is no single rule. Frequency depends on race, age, diet and oral hygiene at home. Your veterinarian will assess the need for detarting during the annual review or a dedicated consultation. Some animals need it every year, others less often.

No. Descaling without anesthesia is purely cosmetic and potentially stressful or even dangerous. It does not eliminate tartar under the gum (the most damaging), or polish the teeth properly, or perform a complete examination or x-rays. We only practice professional descaling under general anaesthesia for safety and efficiency.

The ideal is the daily brushing of teeth with a veterinary toothpaste. A specific diet (dental croquettes), chewing slats or some toys can help. Ask our team for advice on an animal-friendly strategy.

Intervention It itself takes place under general anaesthesia, therefore without pain. We put in place a complete pain control protocol (local anesthesia, anti-inflammatory, analgesic) to manage post-operative discomfort. Keep in mind that a tooth requiring extraction (mobile, infected, broken) is often already causing chronic pain for the animal. Its withdrawal usually brings rapid relief.
