Believe it or not, dogs and cats are diagnosed with dental disease more than any other infection. Needless to say, nobody wants their pet suffering from a painful inflammatory condition in which bacteria attacks the gums and bone tissues that surround and support the teeth. Check-ups and preventative care do wonders for bad breath and may help prevent harmful bacteria from entering the bloodstream and causing serious problems to your pets' vital organs.

Like people, animals need professional teeth cleaning on a routine basis. While we will take care of removing plaque, tartar and any compromised teeth (if needed), the follow-up and prevention you do at home is just as important.

Home dental care will save you money in many ways. Research has shown that your pet's overall health will improve with routine dental care, thereby decreasing illness and medical expenses. It will also help to decrease tartar build-up, and thus increase the length of time between dentistry's.

Please consider one or more of the following to aid you in keeping teeth and gums healthy, ensuring fresher breath.

Giving your pet appropriate chew toys and feeding them hard or coarse-textured food can also help remove plaque. If you cannot brush the teeth, we also have a spray/flush that is easier to administer.

If your pet displays any of these symptoms, serious periodontal disease may be present:
*BAD BREATH- one of the first signs of dental disease.
*TARTER- a yellowish-brown crust on the teeth near the gum line.
*RED and SWOLLEN GUMS.
*PAIN or BLEEDING when eating, or when the mouth or gums are touched.
*DECREASED APPETITE or DIFFICULTY EATING.
*LOOSE or MISSING TEETH.

Call us to set up an appointment to discuss dental care and what you can do to keep your pets' teeth and body healthy!
