Importance of Pet Dental X-Rays

Pet dental X-rays play a crucial role in veterinary dental care. While a visual examination can reveal some dental issues, many problems lie below the gumline and are not visible to the naked eye. Dental X-rays provide detailed images of your pet’s teeth, roots, and surrounding bone structure, enabling our veterinarians to identify and address issues that might otherwise go unnoticed.

Post-X-Ray Care

After the X-rays, we closely monitor your pet as they recover from sedation or anesthesia. Most pets recover quickly and can go home the same day. Our team will provide you with detailed instructions for at-home care and any follow-up appointments needed to address dental issues.

The Pet Dental X-Ray Process

Our pet dental X-ray process at Valley Forge Animal Medical Center is designed to be safe and comfortable for your pet. Here’s what you can expect:

Pre-X-Ray Evaluation

Before taking dental X-rays, our veterinarians will perform a thorough oral examination and review your pet’s medical history. This helps us determine the specific areas that need to be examined and ensures that your pet is healthy enough to undergo the procedure.

Taking the X-Rays

Pet dental X-rays are usually performed under sedation or light anesthesia to keep your pet still and reduce stress. This ensures clear and accurate images while keeping your pet comfortable. The X-ray machine is carefully positioned, and images are taken of the entire mouth or specific areas of concern.

Interpreting the Results

Once the X-rays are taken, our veterinarians will review the images and discuss the findings with you. We will explain any issues identified and recommend appropriate treatments or preventive measures to maintain your pet’s oral health.
