About Pet Dental
Pets’ teeth are on the job 24/7, which means the mouth, gums, and teeth are susceptible to problems if we don't provide dental care. Pets need dental care to help prevent dental issues that can affect their overall health.
When a pet's dental health is not part of his or her medical history, the problems a pet can experience can turn into a significant issue that negatively affects their overall health.
At our clinic, we recommend that your pet have an oral exam regularly, followed by a dental cleaning. We ensure your pet is comfortable and at ease before the exam or cleaning by administering general anesthesia.
About Dental Problems
As much as we love our pets, we aren't always aware of the discomfort and pain they may be experiencing with dental issue. Some common dental conditions include:
• Broken or fractured teeth.
• Plaque buildup.
• Tartar buildup.
• Gum infection or Gingivitis (inflamed gums).
• Periodontal disease.
• Tooth decay.
Signs and Symptoms of Dental Issues
There are various signs and symptoms that serve as a red flag that your pet needs treatment by a veterinarian. It is recommended to frequently observe your pet to identify any symptoms your pet is exhibiting. Things to look for include:
• Your pet has exceptionally foul-smelling breath.
• There is an obvious decrease in how much food they eat.
• It is apparent he or she is having difficulty chewing their food.
• Inability to hold food in the mouth.
• Excessive/continuous drooling.
• Signs of blood in the mouth.
• Weight loss.
• Changes in behavior (less playing, aggressiveness due to pain)
