In January 2008, we switched from traditional film type x-rays to digital x-rays.  We have been overwhelmed by the positive feedback from clients and other specialty and emergency veterinarians to whom we refer patients. Images are obtained much faster, are superior in quality and can be viewed on-line. In many cases, this has allowed our doctors to confer by phone with specialists immediately saving valuable treatment time.

Expanding on this digital success, we have implemented a digital dental x-ray system. This is helping us better diagnose and treat dental disease in cats and dogs.

Dental disease in pets is quite common, yet frequently undiagnosed, affecting about 80% of dogs and 70% of cats by three years of age.  Left untreated dental disease can be severely painful to your pet and affect vital organs, such as heart, kidneys and brain.

By adding digital dental x-rays to our dental procedures, Goodison Veterinary Center doctors can better identify problem areas, providing earlier treatment. Approximately 75% of dental disease is below the gum line and not visible to the eye.

We also carry a variety of products that can aid in the prevention of dental disease.  We would love to have the opportunity to educate all owners on these different products and techniques to help promote healthy teeth and gums.

February is National Pet Dental Health Month.  Contact us for any specials offered on our dentistry products or services during this time
