Regular Pet Dental Exams Prevent Disease

One of the best things you can do for your pet is schedule regular dental exams. At least once each year, your pet should undergo an examination in which a veterinarian looks for signs of gum disease and dental decay that could impact your pet's health. You should know what signs may indicate your pet requires dental treatment. They include:

  • Bad breath
  • Missing teeth
  • Discolored teeth
  • Dropping food onto the floor while eating
  • Swollen gums
  • Bloody gums
  • Pain while chewing
  • Lack of appetite
  • Poor mood

You are the best judge of your pet's behavior. If something just does not seem normal with your dog or cat, it is a sure sign that your pet should visit an animal hospital for pet care.

What Pet Dental Care Looks Like

When it comes to dentistry, pets need many of the same things as humans. Our animal hospital can provide fillings, cleanings, fluoride treatments, x-rays, and extractions. Pets who experience severe gum disease may need to have several teeth removed so that they can avoid further infection and pain. One thing to remember is that even routine pet dental cleanings are performed under anesthesia. Anesthesia prevents your pet from experiencing stress and pain. Our experienced team will ensure your pet is well cared for while it is under anesthesia.
