What Is a Pet Tooth Extraction?

A pet tooth extraction is the surgical removal of a tooth that is infected, broken, or damaged beyond repair. We perform this procedure under anesthesia to ensure your pet remains comfortable and stress-free throughout. With proper post-operative care and follow-up, most pets recover quickly and feel significantly better after the procedure.

When Does a Pet Need a Tooth Extracted?

Tooth extractions are typically recommended when a pet is experiencing advanced dental disease, tooth root abscesses, or oral trauma. Pets rarely show obvious signs of pain, but you might notice subtle changes in behavior—like avoiding food or chewing on one side of the mouth. Once the damaged tooth is removed, many pet owners notice their pet becomes more energetic and playful, a sign that the pain has been alleviated.

Signs Your Pet May Need a Tooth Pulled:

🐾 Bad Breath

🐾 Drooling or Pawing at the Mouth

🐾 Swollen Gums

🐾 Reluctance to Eat

🐾 Loose or Broken Teeth

🐾 Bleeding from the Mouth

How to Prepare for a Pet Tooth Extraction

Before the procedure, we’ll perform a full dental exam, including digital X-rays, to assess the health of your pet’s teeth and roots. Your pet will need to fast for several hours beforehand to safely undergo anesthesia. We’ll provide you with detailed pre-op and post-op care instructions so you feel fully prepared.
