Understanding the Risks: Dental Disease in Dogs and Cats
Dental disease goes beyond being a simple nuisance. It poses a threat to your pet's comfort and health, potentially leading to eating difficulties and systemic issues as bacteria spread from the mouth to vital organs like the heart, liver, and kidneys. Regular pet dental care, including teeth cleaning for both cats and dogs, is a fundamental component of their health care routine.
During your pet’s regular checkups, we look for signs of dental disease such as:
- Bad breath, indicating poor dental health
- Inflamed, bleeding gums
- Excessive drooling, which may signal pain
- Tartar buildup along the gum line
- Dropping food or difficulty chewing
