Why Is Dental Health Important?
Dental problems can lead to more serious health issues like heart disease, kidney problems, and difficulty eating. Pets often hide their pain, so signs of dental disease can go unnoticed until the problem becomes severe. Common symptoms of dental issues in pets include:
- Bad breath (halitosis)
- Excessive drooling
- Difficulty eating or chewing
- Pawing at the mouth
- Red, swollen gums
- Discolored or loose teeth
Prevention and Care
Regular brushing is the most effective way to prevent dental problems. Ideally, you should brush your pet’s teeth daily using a toothbrush designed for pets. If daily brushing isn’t feasible, aim for at least 2-3 times a week.
In addition to brushing, dental treats and chew toys help reduce plaque and tartar buildup. Specialized dental diets can also promote oral health.
Professional Dental Care
At ABVC, we offer professional dental cleanings to ensure your pet’s teeth remain in top condition. Our dental X-rays allow us to evaluate the health of your pet’s teeth below the gumline, detecting problems early and preventing serious conditions.
Dental Surgeries
In severe cases, dental disease may require surgical intervention. Our expertise includes:
- Tooth extractions: Removing infected or damaged teeth to maintain overall oral health.
- Periodontal surgery: Treating advanced gum disease to prevent further complications.
- Oral tumor removals: Removing growths in the mouth to prevent health risks.
Our veterinary team is highly experienced in performing these procedures safely, ensuring your pet’s comfort and a quick recovery.
