Studies show there is an association between oral health issues and the overall health of your pet.
Did you know that 75% of pets have dental disease by three-years of age? Infection and inflammation of the gums and supporting tissues of the teeth are caused by bacteria present in plaque and calculus (tartar).
- Periodontal disease may cause bacteria and toxins to enter the bloodstream which can potentially have deleterious effects on internal organs.
- Prophylactic dental care can prevent this and is extremely important for the overall health of your furry friend. That’s why oral exams are always free at our clinic.
- Dental disease begins when plaque and calculus are allowed to build up on the teeth, especially below the gum-line.
- The first thing you might notice is bad breath, bleeding, and redness of the gums. Without proper care this can lead to loosening and the eventual loss of teeth.
- Prophylactic treatment is very important. We recommend an oral hygiene program that includes regular check ups and home-care prevention.
