Dental Care

​Dogs and Cats seldom develop tooth cavities, as do humans. However, the dog and cat are not without major dental problem!  In fact, the most common dental problem that we find in pets is considered far worse than cavities!  It is called “PERIODONTAL DISEASE.”  This disease affects the gums and other tissues around the teeth, instead of the teeth themselves.  It is the cause of 95% of all cases of “bad breath.”  In advanced cases, it results in infected, foul-smelling, loosened teeth and accumulation of tartar.  Often there is a loss of appetite due to painful gums.  Even signs such as diarrhea, vomiting and irritability may be the result of this disease. Poor dental health in pets can lead to various issues, including bad breath, tooth decay, and serious health problems, such as heart disease and kidney disease.

Regular dental check-ups and cleanings provided by our vet are integral to your pet's dental care routine. We can perform thorough dental cleanings, identify potential problems, and provide guidance on how to maintain your pet’s dental health.
