Dental health is a very important part of your pet’s overall health and it is important to know that dental problems can cause, or be caused by other health problems. We recommend having your pet’s teeth and gums looked at once a year in order to check for early signs of dental health problems and to keep your pet’s mouth healthy.

Why Pet Dental Care is Important

Plaque and tartar build up on your pet’s teeth the same way they do on our teeth. Allowing plaque and tartar to build up allows bacteria to enter the bloodstream through the gums, which can damage internal organs over time.


Dental disease in dogs and cats is very common and ignoring your pet's dental needs is very dangerous. When left untreated, dental diseases can lead to major health issues such as heart disease and kidney failure.

 


Early treatment is essential to prevent further damage to the mouth and to prevent tooth loss. Have your pet’s teeth checked if you notice any of the following:

  • Bad breath
  • Broken or loose teeth
  • Abnormal chewing
  • Dropping food from the mouth
  • Yellow/brown substance on teeth
  • Bleeding gums
  • Tooth loss
  • Drooling
  • Inflammation of the gums

Pet Dental Care at Home

Oral care and routine preventative care go beyond a visit to the vet once a year. It is important that you are also doing what you can for your pet’s oral health at home. Here are some at-home dental tips that can help keep your pet’s mouth healthy inbetween visits to the vet.

• Brush your pet's teeth with specially formulated toothpaste
• Feed your pet soluble dental chews that remove plaque and tartar
• Use cotton-tipped applicators to wipe away accumulated plaque on a daily basis
• Invest in dental wipes which can help to remove plaque plus apply plaque control agents to the teeth
•  Schedule regular veterinarian checkups
