WHY DENTAL CARE MATTERS?
- Annual dental exams and cleanings are recommended to protect your pet from many health problems and help them maintain a healthy and clean mouth.
- Many problems start in the mouth. Plaque, tartar, periodontal disease, and infected teeth serve as a source of inflammation and infection for the rest of the body.
- Dental disease is one of the most common problems that we see in dogs and cats. It can cause drooling, reluctance to eat, swelling, bad breath, redness of the gums, loose teeth, and tooth discoloration.
- Comprehensive pet dental care not only prevents problems but ensures your pet lives a vibrant, happy life free from the pain and risks associated with poor oral health.
