Dentistry & Teeth Cleaning

Dental disease is one of the most common diseases found in pets.

The Australian Veterinary Association reports that 4 in 5 dogs and 3 in 5 cats have some degree of dental disease. Just as people need to take care of their teeth, good oral health and hygiene is important for your pet’s health too.

The most obvious sign of dental disease is bad breath, other symptoms include:

• Red or swollen gums

• Difficulty chewing

• Plaque buildup on teeth

• Loose teeth

More importantly than bad breath, untreated dental disease can lead to serious heart, liver and kidney problems. Treatment for dental disease includes full professional cleanings, changes in diet, use of dental chews and regular brushing of your pet’s teeth.
