You care for your pets like family. But did you know caring for their teeth is just as important as caring for your own? Looking after your pet’s oral and dental hygiene will help save them from serious health problems and diseases such as respiratory, kidney, heart, or periodontal disease.
Just like you, all of us here at Dr. Phillips Animal Hospital want to do everything we can to keep your pet healthy and well. Periodontal disease and similar serious problems can be prevented, and, in some cases, after diagnosed, reversed. We are here to help you bite down on the signs of disease at the start, and by brushing up on oral and dental hygiene for your pet, chew out any concerns you have for your pet’s wellness and dental health.
Whether your pet barks or purrs, Dr. Qasim is here to help with their dental health.
What Dental Services Do We Offer?
As pet owners ourselves, we treat your pet as if they were our own. That is why when dental or oral work is required for your pet, we are here to help. Dr. Phillips Animal Hospital offers a range of veterinary dental services designed to help prevent periodontal disease, treat it, and promote your pet’s long-term health.
Starting from when your pet is brought in for their oral health exam or as part of their regular check-up, our vet will discuss which dentistry procedures or services may be needed including dental cleaning. If a dental or oral disease is suspected, we will alert you if further tests are needed and be there with you from diagnosis, all the way through to recovery.
As part of their diagnosis or treatment, some dental services we offer include:
- Dental Cleaning
- X-Rays & Radiographs
- Biopsy, Physical or Anesthetic Evaluation
- Tooth Extraction
- Oral Lesions
During your pet’s check-up exam, our vet may recommend dental cleaning or if signs of dental or oral disease are present, request radiographs or x-rays. All dental service, treatments, and procedures are conducted under direct supervision from a board-certified veterinarian, and not undertaken until receiving consent and approval from you.
“Hands down the best vet in Orlando. We’ve been taking our dog, Ulysses here for 5 years now. Recently our dog ate some trail mix at 9:30PM. Because Dr. Phillips Animal Hospital is open until 11PM I was actually able to have him see Dr. Qasim instead of taking him to an emergency vet. Dr. Qasim knew exactly what needed to be done and all the precautions we needed to treat for toxicity. He also explained It to me and my husband that we fully understood what we needed to do at look out for the next day. If you are money conscious “The Plan” is a huge savings! We’ve bought it every year for the past five years and I highly recommend it!”

How To Know If Your Pet Needs Dental Cleaning
Hate those moments when your dog or cat is wanting to show affection, but their breath is so bad you have to push them away? As part of your pet’s overall health and well-being, ensure your pet receives dental cleaning and check-ups regularly.
Just like us, your pet’s teeth and oral health is best maintained by taking proactive steps instead of reactive. Bad breath is hard on the nose and can be a precursor to much more serious problems such as periodontal disease. Catching dental disease in its early stages will help save your pet a lot of pain and you a tremendous amount of headaches. Most importantly, it could potentially save their life.
“Compared to the private clinics in the area, the prices were very reasonable. Quality was wonderful, the staff was great, and they made sure I understood every step of the way what was going on and what treatment options were available. My pet needed help after hours, and instead of having to pay an arm and a leg at the emergency clinic, I was surprised to find out that they were open until 11pm on weekdays! What a life-saver !”

Keeping Up With Your Pet’s Oral Health
Does your pet have bad breath? It’s probably time to brush their teeth or use oral treats and chew toys until their next visit with us. Our vet and team will be happy to recommend home treatments and products that are safe and will look after your pet’s oral and dental health between visits.
By brushing your pet’s teeth at least once a week and inspecting their mouth and teeth for early signs of dental disease, you can halt (and in many cases even reverse) dental and oral problems in their tracks.
Why Choose Our Hospital
The unexpected can happen at any moment. Sometimes undetected dental issues come up when you least expect them, which is why our animal hospital has extended hours open 7-days a week.
