The Importance of
Veterinary Dental X-Rays
Dental care is one of the most important — and often overlooked — parts of your pet’s overall health. At Steel Veterinary, we use Digital Dental X-rays to look beneath the gumline, where nearly 60% of dental disease hides.
Even the cleanest-looking teeth can have painful problems lurking below the surface, such as:
- Tooth root abscesses
- Fractured roots
- Bone loss from periodontal disease
- Retained or impacted teeth
- Jawbone infections or tumors
Because pets can’t tell us when they’re in pain, dental X-rays allow our veterinarians to see what the eye can’t — helping us detect disease early, treat it effectively, and prevent unnecessary pain.
Our state-of-the-art dental imaging system provides instant, high-resolution images so we can make quick and accurate decisions during your pet’s dental cleaning or oral surgery. This means less time under anesthesia, a safer procedure, and a healthier, more comfortable pet.
At Steel Veterinary, we highly recommend dental X-Rays for your pet’s dental procedures — because your pet’s smile deserves the same level of care as your own.
