Animal dentistry is a specialized field focused on the oral health of animals, including pets like dogs and cats, as well as larger animals such as horses. It involves diagnosing and treating dental issues, performing cleanings, and educating pet owners about proper dental care. Regular dental check-ups can help prevent serious health problems related to poor oral hygiene. Veterinarians trained in animal dentistry use various tools and techniques similar to those used in human dentistry. Common procedures include tooth extractions, root canals, and dental cleanings. Maintaining good dental health is essential for an animal's overall well-being and can enhance their quality of life.
