The Risks of Dental Disease in Dogs & Cats
Dental disease is not just an inconvenience; it's a serious issue that can affect your pet's quality of life, possibly causing difficulty eating and leading to systemic infections as bacteria from the mouth spread to critical organs such as the heart, liver, and kidneys. Integrating regular teeth cleaning for both cats and dogs into their healthcare regimen is crucial.
During your pet's routine visits, we will check for symptoms of dental disease, including:
- Persistent bad breath, a potential sign of oral disease
- Red, swollen, and bleeding gums
- Excessive drooling, which may indicate pain
- Tartar accumulation along the gu line
- Trouble picking up food or chewing effectively
