Guardian FAQ

Questions Over Worries
What Pet Owners Want to Know

Should my pet have a dental check-up even without symptoms?
Yes. Preventing dental disease before pain develops is the best way to protect your pet's oral health.
Pets often hide signs of pain, so dental or gum disease can progress without obvious symptoms.
By the time owners notice a problem, periodontal disease may already be advanced enough to require tooth extraction.
Regular dental examinations are the most effective way to detect conditions such as periodontal disease and feline tooth resorption (FORL) early, when treatment is often simpler and more successful.
Can dogs and cats develop gum disease?
Yes. Periodontal disease is the most common oral disease in both dogs and cats.
It begins when plaque and tartar allow bacteria to build up, causing inflammation of the gums. Without treatment, the supporting bone around the teeth can become damaged, leading to loose teeth and significant pain.
Long-term oral inflammation may also affect other organs, including the heart, kidneys, and liver.
Regular dental examinations, professional scaling, and consistent tooth brushing are the best ways to help prevent periodontal disease.
What happens if dental treatment is delayed?
Periodontal disease does not improve on its own.
What begins as tartar buildup or bad breath can gradually progress to damage the gums and jawbone, eventually leading to loose teeth or tooth extraction.
Ongoing pain and inflammation may also reduce appetite, affect quality of life, and even impact overall health.
Early treatment helps preserve healthy teeth and often reduces the extent of treatment needed.
Why is Dental CT important?
About 60–70% of a pet's tooth lies beneath the gum line, making it impossible to evaluate by visual examination alone.
Problems such as root infections, root fractures, feline tooth resorption (FORL), and impacted teeth often develop beneath the surface.
Dental CT provides detailed 3D images of the teeth, roots, jawbone, and surrounding structures, helping identify conditions that standard examinations may miss and supporting more accurate treatment planning.
Accurate diagnosis helps avoid unnecessary extractions while preserving healthy teeth whenever possible.
When is tooth extraction necessary?
The goal of tooth extraction is not simply to remove a tooth, but to eliminate pain and infection while restoring oral health.
Extraction may be recommended when severe periodontal disease, root fractures, root abscesses, or feline tooth resorption (FORL) make the tooth impossible to save.
Whenever possible, healthy teeth are preserved. Decisions are based on a comprehensive evaluation using dental radiographs, Dental CT, and clinical examination—not visual inspection alone.
Can senior pets safely receive dental treatment?
Yes. In fact, senior dogs and cats are more likely to develop periodontal disease, FORL, fractured teeth, and other dental conditions.
What matters most is your pet's overall health—not age alone.
Before anesthesia, we perform appropriate evaluations such as blood tests, chest radiographs, and cardiac assessments to determine whether treatment can be performed safely.
A thorough examination is the best way to decide whether dental treatment is appropriate.
Why is general anesthesia required for dental scaling?
Unlike people, pets require general anesthesia so dental procedures can be performed safely and accurately.
Unexpected movement during treatment can injure the teeth or gums and increase the risk of water or debris entering the airway.

Dental scaling also involves cleaning beneath the gum line and evaluating the tooth roots and jawbone using dental radiographs or Dental CT—not simply removing visible tartar.
General anesthesia is an essential part of achieving both an accurate diagnosis and safe treatment.
What makes the Dental Center at UN Animal Medical Center different?
Our priority is preserving healthy teeth whenever possible through accurate diagnosis and carefully planned treatment.
Using advanced equipment—including Dental CT, dental radiography, and dedicated dental units—we evaluate not only the visible teeth but also the roots and supporting bone.

Our dental team works closely with specialists in diagnostic imaging, internal medicine, and anesthesia to provide comprehensive care, from preoperative evaluation to recovery.
Guided by the philosophy of "Looking beyond what can be seen," we focus on minimizing unnecessary extractions while helping pets keep healthy teeth for as long as possible.
How should I care for my pet after dental treatment?
Long-term success depends just as much on home care as on the treatment itself.
Although scaling and extraction remove existing plaque, tartar, and infection, these problems can return without proper oral care.
Regular tooth brushing, dental care products, prescription dental diets when recommended, and routine dental check-ups all help maintain good oral health.
The best way to keep your pet's teeth healthy is through consistent home care and regular dental examinations.
