Why Pet Dental Care is Important

Dental hygiene is an important part of your pet's health and can often be the cause of serious illness. Dental problems, if left untreated, can often lead to larger systemic problems in your pet due to oral bacteria entering the blood stream and damaging the kidneys, heart and liver. Pets have dental disease just like you do. Many of these problems can be avoided by bringing your pet to our office for regular dental check-ups and teeth cleanings. Bad breath and/or reddened gums are the most common signs of dental problems.

 

Some signs of dental problems include:

• Bad breath - one of the first signs of dental disease

• A yellowish-brown crust of plaque on the teeth near the gum line

• Red and swollen gums

• Pain or bleeding when your pet eats or when the mouth or gums are touched

• Decreased appetite or difficulty eating

• Loose or missing teeth
