Why Pet Dentistry Matters
Studies show that up to 85% of pets over four years old suffer from periodontal disease. This condition occurs when plaque and bacteria build up along the gum line, causing inflammation and pain. If left untreated, periodontal disease can lead to serious health issues, including heart, kidney, and liver problems.
Our skilled veterinarians use safe and effective techniques to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety during dental procedures. Regular professional dental cleanings help maintain healthy teeth and gums, reducing the risk of more severe health complications.
When to Tell If Your Pet Needs Dental Care
Recognizing the signs of dental issues early can prevent serious complications. Symptoms of dental disease in pets include:
- Bad breath (halitosis)
- Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
- Yellow or brown tartar buildup on teeth
- Difficulty eating or loss of appetite
- Excessive drooling
- Loose or missing teeth
- Pawing at the mouth or face
If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to schedule an appointment with a pet dentist promptly. Early intervention can prevent more extensive dental problems and ensure your pet’s comfort.
