Dentistry

Strong teeth and healthy gums are essential to your pet’s overall well-being. At Lanoka Oaks Veterinary Center, we provide comprehensive veterinary dentistry services for pets in Lanoka Harbor, Bayville & Central Ocean County, NJ, Toms River Township, and nearby communities. Maintaining your pet’s oral health not only prevents discomfort but also supports overall health, including heart, kidney, and liver function.

Why Pet Dental Care Matters

Dental disease is one of the most common health problems in dogs and cats. Plaque and tartar buildup can lead to gum disease, tooth loss, infections, and even systemic issues affecting vital organs. Regular dental care helps prevent these complications, keeping your pet comfortable, active, and thriving.

Our Dental Services

We offer a full range of dental care options tailored to your pet’s needs:

• Professional cleanings under anesthesia. 
• Dental X-rays. 
• Polishing and scaling. 
• Extractions when necessary. 
• Preventive dental care guidance. 

Signs Your Pet May Need Dental Care

Pets often hide dental pain until it becomes severe. Subtle changes in behavior or eating habits can be the first clues that something is wrong. Regular observation of your pet’s mouth and habits helps catch problems early, before they become serious. 

Watch for:

• Bad breath
• Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
• Loose or broken teeth
• Drooling or pawing at the mouth
• Reluctance to eat hard food
