Dental Care
Oral health is a key component of your pet’s overall wellness—but few pet parents realize its power. With regular professional and at-home care, you can protect your pet from the pain, infection, and illness associated with dental disease.
Dental disease: The hidden threat
One of the most common threats to pet health hides just out of sight. Being aware of its presence—and potential threat—can help you add years to your pet’s life.
Dental disease develops when harmful bacteria creep below the gumline, inflaming the gums and destroying the tooth root and surrounding structures. Broken and damaged teeth become a source of chronic pain and infection. In severe cases, bacteria from dental disease can enter the bloodstream and damage your pet’s heart, kidneys, and liver.
Dental disease signs
During every exam, our veterinary team will assess your pet’s teeth and gums and identify any problems. However, dental disease signs can show up between visits. Signs to watch for include:
- Bad breath
- Unusual drooling
- Red or swollen gums
- Visible brown or yellow tartar
- Broken teeth
- Changes in eating or drinking habits
- Facial swelling or pawing at the mouth
Dental disease requires professional veterinary care. Contact us to schedule your pet’s dental consultation, and let’s work together to restore their comfort and health.
