Comprehensive Veterinary Dental Care for Cats & Dogs
Routine veterinary dental care is a critical component of cats' and dogs' oral and overall health, but most pets don't get the oral hygiene care they need to keep their teeth and gums healthy.
We provide complete vet dental care for your pet at our Jackson veterinary hospital, from basic dental exams, teeth cleanings, and polishing, to dental x-rays and surgeries.
Pre-Surgical Dental X-rays
Jackson Animal Clinic uses our on-site dental X-ray imaging technology before every dental surgery conducted at our facility.
Often, the root cause of an oral health issue in our companions can't be seen by the naked eye. Using X-rays, we can identify health issues beneath the surface of your pet's gums and teeth, and treatment accordingly
Veterinary Dental Surgery in Jackson
We understand that finding out that your pet needs dental surgery can be overwhelming. We strive to make this process as stress-free as possible, for you and your pet.
We will do everything possible to make your pet's stay with us comfortable and easy. Before the procedure, we will go over each step of the procedure with you in detail, including the preparation and post-operative care requirements.
We offer jaw fracture repair surgeries, tooth extractions, and gum disease treatment for dogs and cats.
Pet Teeth Cleaning & Exams
Your dog or cat should have a dental examination at least once a year, just like you would for your annual checkup at the dentist. Pets who are more prone to dental problems than others may require more frequent visits.
Jackson Animal Clinic can assess, diagnose and treat dental health problems in cats and dogs.

Cat & Dog Dentistry: Anesthesia & Your Pet's Oral Health
Pets do not understand what is going on during dental procedures, and will often react to dental procedures by struggling or biting.
Our Jackson vets provide anesthesia to all of our patients before performing dental procedures, similar to how dentists provide anesthesia to nervous or anxious patients. This reduces stress while allowing us to x-ray their mouths as needed.
