Dental Radiography

Dental Radiographs on Johns Island, SC

If your pet needs a Dental Radiograph, we understand that you want it to be performed as safely as possible. Here at Angel Oak Animal Hospital, we offer the best and most up-to-date digital radiography on Johns Island.

‍What Is a Dental Radiograph?‍

Digital radiology or radiography, also known as a digital X-ray, is an advanced diagnostic tool that is mainly used to virtually see your pet’s organs or mouth, including, but not limited to, the cardiopulmonary, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, and urinary systems. It is a non-invasive process that allows us to have a better look at your pet's condition. With this gentle procedure, we can clearly see issues and address them quickly.

Dog and cat dental cleanings are not complete without full mouth X-rays. Though in many cases, the visible crown of the tooth may appear normal, Dental Radiographs can reveal problems with the root below. Once all of the teeth have been X-rayed, our veterinarian will review them and decide what treatment, if any, is required for each tooth. At Angel Oak Animal Hospital, all dog and cat dental cleanings include full mouth radiographs. If you would like more information about our Dental Radiographs services, call us at (843) 779-9669 or (843)559-1838 to schedule an appointment today.

Is Dental Radiology Painful or Harmful to My Pet?

Dental radiographs (X-rays) are an important part of evaluating your pet’s oral health. Because pets cannot stay completely still or follow instructions during the procedure, these images must be taken under general anesthesia. Anesthesia ensures your pet remains comfortable, safe, and still enough for us to capture clear and accurate images. Dental Radiographs are safer than ever for pets and humans alike, with minimal exposure to radiation, which is completely harmless.

Angel Oak Animal Hospital is aware that when your pet needs  dental care, you may be concerned, but rest assured that they are in good hands. Because of incredible advancements in technology, you don’t have to wonder whether you are doing what is best for your pet when you bring them into our animal hospital on Johns Island for Dental Radiographs.
