Lewiston Veterinary Clinic was established in 1947 by Dr. Klaus. He was joined by Dr. Richard Campbell in 1962, and Dr. Clair Sauer, an MN graduate, joined in 1965.

They worked out of an office building that was located on Main Street and then moved the practice to its current location in 1981.

The clinic continues to grow, and in 2000, the small animal addition was completed. The clinic is well-equipped to cover large and small animal care.

Pet Dental Care: Keeping Your Pet’s Smile Healthy for Life Just like humans, pets need regular dental care to stay healthy and happy. Dental disease is one of the most common—and often overlooked—health issues in dogs and cats. Left untreated, it can lead to painful infections, tooth loss, and even impact vital organs like the heart and kidneys.What Is Pet Dental Care?Pet dental care involves the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases that affect your pet’s teeth, gums, and mouth. It includes:<ul><li>Routine dental exams</li><li>Professional cleanings under anesthesia</li><li>Dental X-rays to check below the gumline</li><li>Treatment of periodontal disease</li><li>Extractions (if necessary)</li><li>At-home dental hygiene guidance</li></ul>Why Is Dental Care Important for Pets?By the age of 3, most pets already show signs of periodontal disease. Unfortunately, the early signs—bad breath, tartar buildup, or red gums—often go unnoticed until they become more serious.Dental disease doesn’t just stay in the mouth. Bacteria can enter the bloodstream and affect your pet’s liver, kidneys, and heart. Routine dental care helps prevent these complications and improves your pet’s overall quality of life.What Happens During a Dental Visit?At our veterinary hospital, your pet’s dental care typically involves:<ol type="1"><li>Pre-anesthetic bloodwork to ensure your pet is healthy enough for anesthesia.</li><li>Full-mouth examination and digital dental X-rays to assess the teeth and jaw health, including what can’t be seen above the gumline.</li><li>Ultrasonic scaling to remove plaque and tartar buildup.</li><li>Polishing to smooth the tooth surface and slow future buildup.</li><li>Extractions if teeth are broken, loose, or infected (only if necessary).</li><li>Pain management and post-procedure care to ensure your pet is comfortable.</li></ol>All procedures are performed with your pet’s safety and comfort as our top priorities. We use advanced monitoring and gentle techniques throughout.How Can I Help at Home?While professional cleanings are key, home care is just as important. Your veterinarian can recommend:<ul><li>Pet-safe toothbrushes and toothpaste</li><li>Dental chews or diets</li><li>Water additives or oral rinses</li></ul>Even a few minutes of brushing a few times a week can make a big difference.Common Signs of Dental TroubleKeep an eye out for:<ul><li>Bad breath</li><li>Drooling</li><li>Difficulty chewing</li><li>Red or bleeding gum</li><li>Pawing at the mouth</li><li>Loose or missing teeth</li></ul>If you notice any of these signs, schedule a dental exam promptly.<div data-type="horizontalRule"><hr></div>Your pet’s mouth is a window into their overall health. Regular dental care isn’t just about a cleaner smile, it’s about helping your furry companion live a longer, healthier life.🐾 Looking to keep your pet healthy and happy?
