Pet Dental Care = Whole Pet Health
Does Your Dog Have Bad Breath?
Despite what many pet owners may believe, dog breath is not just a nuisance, it’s a sign of an unhealthy mouth. Bad breath is caused by bacteria. Over time, bacteria lead to plaque and tartar buildup on your pet’s teeth. The result is bad breath, reddened gums, and other common signs of dental disease. As dental disease progresses, other signs can include drooling, discomfort while chewing, and loose or missing teeth. Pet dental exams are an important way to maintain your pet’s long term health.
Even if you’re using treats and chews to help control tartar, these are usually not enough to keep dental disease in check.
Importance of Pet Dental Care & Exams
Dental hygiene is an important part of your pet’s health, because dental disease can be associated with other serious health problems such as heart disease and kidney disease. Let us examine your pet’s teeth and gums to help determine if there are any dental issues you should know about. After a brief visual examination, we may recommend a dental cleaning (including pre-anesthesia bloodwork,scaling and polishing), or options for at-home dental care.
We want your pet to live a long, healthy life, and we understand that maintaining a healthy mouth is part of that. Your pet’s health is important to us, so let us help you with this commitment. Call today to discuss your pet’s dental care needs and how we can help!
