Pet Dental Care in Medley, FL — Serving Hialeah, Doral & Miami Springs

Dental Health Is a Whole-Body Issue
By the time most pets are three years old, they already show some sign of dental disease — and because pets are so good at hiding discomfort, it often goes unnoticed until it's advanced. Left untreated, dental disease doesn't just cause pain and tooth loss; the bacteria involved can affect the heart, kidneys, and liver over time.

At Animal General Hospital, dental care isn't an add-on — it's a dedicated part of what we do, with its own equipment and its own surgical suite separate from our general surgery room.

What We Offer

Dental Exams A close look at your pet's teeth and gums during wellness visits, checking for tartar buildup, gum recession, loose teeth, and other early warning signs.

Professional Cleanings Performed under anesthesia with full monitoring, allowing us to clean below the gumline where the damage actually happens — something no at-home brushing or dental chew can reach.

Digital Dental X-Rays Because most dental disease happens below the gumline, X-rays let us see what's going on with tooth roots and jawbone that a visual exam alone would miss.

Extractions & Dental Surgery When a tooth is too damaged to save, we perform extractions and other oral surgery in-house — no separate referral or unfamiliar facility. (See our Advanced Surgery page for more on our surgical capabilities.)

At-Home Care Guidance Brushing, dental chews, and water additives all help — but they support professional care, they don't replace it. Our team can recommend what's realistic and effective for your specific pet.

Signs Your Pet May Need a Dental Visit

• Bad breath that doesn't go away

• Yellow or brown buildup on the teeth

• Red, swollen, or bleeding gums

• Dropping food while eating, or chewing on one side

• Pawing at the mouth or face

• Visible loose or broken teeth

If you're noticing any of these, it's worth having it looked at sooner rather than later — dental problems tend to get more painful and more expensive to treat the longer they go unaddressed.

Why Anesthesia-Free Cleanings Fall Short

You may see "anesthesia-free" dental cleanings advertised elsewhere. While well-intentioned, these only clean the visible, above-the-gumline surface of the teeth — they can't reach below the gumline where periodontal disease actually starts, and they don't allow for X-rays or a thorough evaluation. A professional cleaning under anesthesia is the only way to properly assess and treat what's actually happening with your pet's teeth
