EDMOND, Okla., Jan. 30, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- White Oaks Veterinary Clinic is pleased to announce that they will be offering a discounted pet dental special for all cats and dogs. This is an ideal opportunity for pet owners to get their pets the crucial oral care services they might have been putting off.

To call awareness to the importance of pet dental care and oral health, the Edmond veterinary clinic will be offering special pricing and a limited-time discount for existing and new clients. The pet dental special will run for the entire month of February in honor of National Pet Dental Health Month.

The special includes pre-anesthetic blood work, anesthesia, dental scaling, tooth polishing, and intra-procedure antibiotics for only $200. In addition to cash, credit cards, and pet insurance, White Oaks Veterinary Clinic also accepts Care Credit as payment.

While general wellness exams are crucial to preventing pet illnesses and preserving wellbeing, preventative care also requires attention to pet oral and dental health. Just as with humans, oral health influences overall health and wellbeing. Without proper attention given to the teeth and gums, bacteria can build up and eventually cause a range of issues. Cavities and gingivitis are just the beginning. Bacteria from tooth decay and gum disease can leach into the rest of the body, impeding immune system functioning and negatively affecting organ health.

In extreme cases, oral health and tooth problems can lead to heart disease, blood disorders, liver damage, and kidney failure. With the immune system fighting so hard to battle bacteria in the mouth, it cannot protect the rest of the body effectively.

Ongoing dental health requires regular exams, cleaning, and addressing any decay, cavities or gum issues that have arisen. Tartar or plaque buildup must be removed and the gum line inspected. An exam from Edmond veterinarian White Oaks Veterinary Clinic allows the vet to address any issues that might otherwise affect overall health. Pets are safely sedated during the process.

Dr. Jennifer Bianchi says, “Our February special allows pet owners to take care of this essential service at a discount to ensure health and quality of life going forward. We hope that all cat and dog owners in the area take advantage of this opportunity to give their pets a periodontal exam.”

Dr. Mark Bianchi adds, “Our clinic is outfitted with state-of-the-art equipment to perform any dental procedure your pet might need, including extraction or oral surgery if required.”

White Oaks Veterinary Clinic is located at 131 West Waterloo Road in Edmond, Oklahoma.
