Tooth pain in pets often goes unnoticed, but it can have a serious impact on their overall health and happiness. At Lowell Animal Hospital, we provide safe and gentle pet tooth extractions in Lowell, IN. Our experienced veterinary team is committed to relieving your pet’s discomfort and improving their quality of life. If an extraction is necessary, you can trust us to provide compassionate, professional care every step of the way.
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.
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.
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.
