Dentistry

Does your pet’s breath make you cringe?

Contrary to popular belief, foul breath isn’t something that pet owners must simply learn to live with. In fact, it probably means your pet needs to visit the dentist. 

Without the right care, your pet’s mouth can become a haven for bacteria, which can spread through the bloodstream and cause a number of other health problems. Left untreated, dental disease can even shorten a companion animal’s life. 

The good news is, with the right support, this can all be prevented.

The professional dentistry services at Animal Health Center include both routine, preventative care as well as advanced treatment for existing oral conditions. 

Common signs of dental disease in pets include, but are not limited to:

• Bad breath
• Excessive drooling
• Dropping food 
• Sudden disinterest in chew toys
• Loss of appetite
• Swollen or painful face
• Pawing at the mouth
• Yellow, broken, loose or missing teeth 
• Gums that are red, swollen or bleeding

If your companion is showing any of these signs, it’s time to schedule an exam. We’ll identify the problem and address it quickly, improving the prognosis for your loved one. We’ll also show you how you can help keep your pet’s mouth healthy and disease-free year-round. 

You deserve to enjoy plenty of close snuggles with your pet. Our comprehensive dental services can help get you there!
