Dental Care

Dental health is a very important part of your pet’s overall health, and dental problems can cause, or be caused by, other health problems. Your pets teeth and gums should be checked at least once a year by your veterinarian for early signs of problems and to keep your pet’s mouth healthy and make the teeth and gums look bright and shiny . Dental disease is a serious health risk for our pets. If teeth are left untreated and dental disease progresses, it could lead to infection elsewhere in the body or loss of teeth. Proper oral hygiene and care can extend and improve the quality of life. No matter how much at-home dental care you provide for your dog, tartar will still build up over time on your dog’s teeth, just like with our teeth. Various procedures are available for the prevention of oral disease. Consult your Vet about dental care and dental scaling procedures.
