Regular Professional Cleaning - 獸醫牙科護理

A healthy mouth and clean teeth can lead to a longer, healthier life for your pet. Taking care of your pets' teeth at home helps avoid serious dental disease, but cats and dogs need periodic professional cleaning just like you do. At Unionville South Pet Hospital we take care to provide a safe, thorough, and professional cleaning similar to the one you get at your dentist’s office.

健康的口腔與潔淨的牙齒，有助於您的寵物擁有更長壽且更健康的生活。在家為寵物清潔牙齒能夠預防嚴重的牙科疾病，但貓狗仍需定期接受專業洗牙，就像您定期看牙醫一樣。在 Unionville South Pet Hospital，我們提供安全、完整且專業的洗牙服務，確保效果與您在牙醫診所接受的治療同等水準。

Dental Disease - 牙科疾病

Periodontal disease is a progressive infection of the gums surrounding the teeth. If left untreated it can lead to halitosis, oral infections, and bacterial infections that can enter the bloodstream and cause damage to many major organs. As part of your annual visit, Dr. Eve will conduct an oral examination to ensure that your pet's teeth are healthy and disease-free. If a cleaning is needed, while your pet is under anesthesia, we will x-ray and evaluate each individual tooth to determine if any other dental work is needed.

牙周病是圍繞牙齒的牙齦逐漸感染的疾病。如果不及時治療，可能導致口臭、口腔感染，甚至細菌進入血液循環，損害多個重要器官。在年度健康檢查中，Dr. Eve 會進行口腔檢查，確保您的寵物牙齒健康且無疾病。如需洗牙，我們會在寵物麻醉下進行，每顆牙齒都會拍攝 X 光並評估，以判斷是否需要其他牙科治療。

Comprehensive Oral Health Assessment and Treatment (COHAT) - 全面口腔健康評估與治療

• Digital Oral X-Rays (數位口腔 X 光：檢查每顆牙齒的健康狀況)
• Scaling & Polishing (洗牙與拋光)
  To remove plaque and calculus from your pet's teeth we use similar instruments to those your dentist uses. After cleaning, the enamel surfaces of your pet's teeth are polished to remove scratches in the enamel. 使用與人類牙醫相同的器械，去除牙齒上的牙菌斑與牙結石。清潔後，對牙齒琺瑯質表面進行拋光，去除細微刮痕。
• Fluoride/Sealants (氟化物/封閉劑)
  We'll apply an anti-plaque treatment, such as a fluoride to help strengthen and desensitize your pet's teeth as well as help prevent plaque build-up. 塗抹抗牙菌斑處理，如氟化物，可強化牙齒、減少敏感，並幫助預防牙菌斑累積。
• Home Dental Care (居家牙齒護理)
  Your pet relies on you to help maintain their dental health through regular teeth brushing which will help fight plaque build-up. A sample with toothpaste and a finger brush is included in your take-home care package. 寵物的牙齒健康需要您的協助。定期刷牙有助於抑制牙菌斑形成。我們會提供居家護理套組，包括牙膏與指套刷，方便您在家持續維護寵物口腔健康。
