- Why dental care? The American Veterinary Dental Society reports that 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats show signs of oral disease by age three. Besides affecting the mouth, this disease can lead to more serious health problems including heart, lung, and kidney disease, which makes it all more the important that you provide your pets with proper dental care from the start.
- What is periodontal disease? Periodontal disease is an infection of the tissue surrounding the teeth that takes hold in progressive stages. Initially, bacteria cause tartar which leads to plaque build up. If unchecked, this buildup can form infection around the root of the tooth. In the final stages, the tissue around the tooth erodes and the tooth becomes loose. This is a very painful process for our pets.
- What will happen during the dental visit? Depending on the age of the pet, a current exam and blood work will be needed to check for any dangerous heart, kidney or other conditions. A short anesthetic will be administered so that the teeth can be cleaned thoroughly .The technician will then scale and polish the teeth and extractions will be performed if necessary.
- Plus! Ask for Free Digital Dental Xrays when you schedule your appointment! Dental X rays allow for the early diagnosis and treatment of potentially serious and painful disease.
