Did you know that your pet’s oral health has a big impact on their overall health and longevity?  Just like dentistry for humans, having your pet’s teeth professionally scaled and polished at least once per year is important in maintaining their dental health.  Without routine dental care your pet will be at risk for tooth and gum disease as well as other health problems.  Dental disease can also lead to bacterial infection within the lungs, heart, liver and kidneys of all pets. 

By three years of age, eight-five percent of pets are affected by oral infections.  Early signs of problems may include discoloration of teeth, due to the accumulation of plaque and tartar, inflammation of the surrounding gum tissue (gingivitis) and bad breath.  As oral disease progresses you may notice excessive drooling, decreased appetite and weight loss, pain/discomfort associated with the oral cavity, tooth loss or generalized lethargy.

Saving money is very important to all of us.  By preventing dental problems before they are problematic could save you hundreds of dollars in the long run.  To learn more on how you can help keep your pet’s mouth healthy or if you are interested in saving money on your next dental cleaning “click here”.
