Don’t Brush Off Dental Care
Don’t Let Dental Care Take a Back Seat. Pet dental care isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity! Research confirms that periodontal disease ranks among our companions’ most prevalent health concerns—and it reaches far beyond your pet’s mouth. Advanced periodontal disease can compromise vital organs, cause significant discomfort, and diminish your distinguished friend’s quality of life.
The Gateway to Good Health
Premium dental care for your pet delivers far more than keeping those greetings pleasant (though we certainly appreciate that!). Dental disease remains one of the most widespread health challenges our pets encounter, with recent findings revealing that by age three, most dogs and cats exhibit signs of periodontal disease. As this condition progresses, it brings discomfort, tooth loss, and compromised well-being. Moreover, harmful oral bacteria migrate throughout the body, potentially damaging your pet’s kidneys, liver, and heart.
Signs your pet might have a dental issue include:
- Drooling, chewing oddly, or dropping food from the mouth
- Reduced appetite or behavior changes
- Facial swelling
- Bad breath
- Loose, broken, or discolored teeth
- Bloody saliva
- Pawing or rubbing at their mouth
We recommend annual dental exams for all pets as a part of routine wellness care, in addition to professional dental procedures as your veterinarian recommends. Regular brushing with pet-friendly toothpaste, providing dental chews and toys, and incorporating dental diets into your pet’s nutrition plan can also help reduce plaque and tartar buildup. If you’re unsure how to start brushing your pet’s teeth at home, we’re here to help. Ask us for a demo on your next visit!
