Dental disease is common, and more serious than you think
Bad breath, discoloured teeth or red, swollen gums are early signs of gum disease. Plaque and tartar carry bacteria that damage enamel, gums and the bone that holds the teeth, so cleaning early matters.

Signs to watch for
Dental disease hides in plain sight
Spotting it early makes all the difference. Book a dental check if you notice:
-
Mouth & teeth
- Bad breath
- Swollen, red or bleeding gums
- Loose or discoloured teeth
- Visible tartar on the gum line
-
Eating & behaviour
- Difficulty eating or loss of appetite
- Dropping food while chewing
- Pawing at the mouth or face
- Excessive drooling
Complete oral care
A complete oral health assessment
Advanced cleaning and full oral care for dogs and cats.
Dental exam & charting
We examine each tooth and the gums and chart what we find, so problems can be tracked over time.
We check for
- Plaque, tartar and gum disease
- Loose, broken or worn teeth
- Painful areas and infection
- Lumps in the mouth
Digital dental X-rays
Much of a tooth sits under the gum. X-rays show roots, bone loss and abscesses that cannot be seen by looking.
X-rays help find
- Root problems and abscesses
- Bone loss around teeth
- Retained or broken roots
Scaling & polishing
Ultrasonic scaling removes plaque and tartar, including under the gums; polishing smooths the enamel so plaque builds up more slowly.
The clean includes
- Ultrasonic scaling
- Cleaning below the gum line
- Polishing the enamel
A clean mouth is more comfortable and better for the whole body.
Laser therapy
Laser therapy can calm inflamed gums and support healing after dental treatment.
Anaesthesia & safety
Pets can't keep still or hold their mouths open for a safe, thorough clean, especially below the gum line or for X-rays.
To keep your pet safe
- Blood tests before anaesthesia
- Medicines chosen for age and health
- Heart rate, oxygen, temperature and blood pressure monitored throughout
With modern equipment and an experienced team, dental anaesthesia is very safe.
Good dental care means more energy, comfort and quality of life.

What families say
-
Had a really positive experience with Cessna Lifeline Veterinary Hospital. The doctors were extremely caring, patient, and knowledgeable. They took the time to properly explain my pet’s condition and treatment plan without rushing. The staff was polite, responsive, and handled pets with genuine compassion. The clinic is clean, well-maintained, and equipped with good facilities for consultation, diagnostics, grooming, and rehabilitation. What stood out most was the attention and comfort given to pets during treatment — you can tell the team truly loves animals. Highly recommended for anyone looking for trustworthy veterinary care in Bangalore.
Susil Kumar D. -
We rushed our 10 yr old male GSD with bloat to Cessna on the night of April 29th as this was the only vet hospital open 24/7 for emergencies in Bangalore. The vets and staff immediately conducted all the necessary tests to determine that it was GDV and performed Gastropexy surgery at 1 am after explaining all possible outcomes for our pet. Professional and polite vet staff. The place has everything for a pet in distress and I highly recommend this place. We were also allowed to see our pet pre and post surgery for a few minutes and that was reassuring. We got regular video and picture updates about our pet's recovery, consultation from Dr Padam the next day via a phone call about our pet's vitals and discharge was also smooth with guidance on post operative care by the on duty Vet. Thank you for saving the life of our pet. We can never forget this.

Questions
Dental care: questions pet parents ask
Something else on your mind? Call us on +91 76763 65365 or ask at your next visit.
Does my pet need anaesthesia for a dental clean?
Yes, for a thorough and safe clean. Pets can't stay still or keep their mouths open, and cleaning below the gum line or taking X-rays needs them to be asleep. Cleaning without anaesthesia only polishes the visible surface.
How often should my pet have a dental check?
At least once a year, and more often for pets with gum disease or breeds prone to dental problems. We will suggest a schedule after the first check.
How can I care for my pet's teeth at home?
Daily brushing with pet toothpaste is best. Dental chews, dental diets and water additives help too. Never use human toothpaste.
