Dental Services

Our Clinic is excited to offer low-cost dental services.

All dental procedures are by appointment only. First, our staff will perform a dental exam to identify any issues and provide an estimate of cost. We will then schedule your pet for a dental appointment, which includes cleaning, polishing, and extracting any broken or diseased teeth.

On the day of your pet’s procedure, please bring completed dental paperwork. If this is your first time at our clinic, we ask that you also complete new client paperwork.  Be sure to email copies of your pet’s vaccine history to clinic@chesapeakehumane.org. Due to the high volume of clients, we are not able to call your veterinarian’s office for medical records.

Periodontal Disease

Most pets over three years of age have periodontal disease and need veterinary attention. While brushing your pet’s teeth is helpful, brushing does not remove tartar or clean below the gum line. Pets need professional dental cleanings just like we do.

Signs that your pet is experiencing periodontal disease include: bad breath, discolored teeth, loose or broken teeth, extra teeth, inflamed gums, and bleeding in the mouth. Pets hide discomfort well, so it may be hard to tell if your pet’s mouth is painful without a veterinary exam.

Left untreated, dental disease leads to tooth loss, abscesses in the mouth, and kidney, liver, and heart damage.

Appointments

If you’d like to request an appointment for a dental exam please submit a request here:  Appointment Request

Please be aware that it may take more than five business days to respond. We do have a high volume of requests. In order to be seen through our clinic, we require that your pet is up-to-date on rabies, heartworm test, and heartworm prevention and we ask that you email medical records to clinic@chesapeakehumane.org. If your pet is not up-to-date on any of these requirements, we can provide those services for you.

Surgical appointments are generally scheduled about a month in advance and require a $30.00 deposit. Dental exams are $70.00 and we require a $50.00 deposit for the cleaning appointment. All pets need to be spayed/neutered prior to a dental exam or cleaning.

Thank you for your patience as we do our best to keep our staff and clients safe.
