Dental Care for Your Pet
Does your best friend have bad breath? Despite what many pet owners may believe, “dog breath” isn’t just a nuisance—it’s a sign of an unhealthy mouth. Bad breath is caused by bacteria, which leads to plaque and tartar buildup on your pet’s teeth. Over time, this buildup can cause inflamed gums, oral pain, drooling, and even loose or missing teeth. In more serious cases, untreated dental disease can be linked to broader health issues like heart and kidney disease.
Even if you’re using dental treats or chews, those alone are often not enough to keep your pet’s mouth truly clean. Regular professional dental care is key. Let us examine your pet’s teeth and gums to detect any issues early and recommend the right plan—whether it’s at-home dental care, a thorough cleaning, or a more advanced procedure.
