Why Focus on Dental Health?

Did you know that by the age of three, most pets show some signs of dental disease? Dental issues like plaque, tartar buildup, and gum disease can lead to pain, infections, and other serious health problems if left untreated. Dental disease doesn’t just affect the mouth—it can have systemic impacts, potentially affecting your pet’s heart and other organs. Regular dental care, including professional cleanings and at-home maintenance, is key to keeping your pet healthy and happy.

Signs of dental disease can include bad breath, yellow or brown tartar on teeth, red or bleeding gums, difficulty eating, or drooling. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s time to schedule a visit to our clinic for a dental assessment.

The Benefits of a Healthy Smile

Better Overall Health: A clean mouth reduces the risk of infections and chronic diseases.

Improved Quality of Life: Pets with healthy teeth are often more playful, energetic, and comfortable.

Longer Lifespan: Good dental care can add years to your pet’s life by preventing serious health complications.

Tips for At-Home Dental Care

Brush Regularly: Use a pet-safe toothbrush and toothpaste to brush your pet’s teeth regularly. Start slow and make it a positive experience.

Provide Dental Chews: Dental treats and chews can help reduce plaque and tartar buildup while giving your pet a tasty reward.

Choose the Right Diet: Foods formulated for dental health, like Royal Canin Dental Formula, can support your pet’s oral care. These diets are specifically designed to help reduce plaque and tartar.

Schedule Regular Check-Ups: Routine veterinary exams include oral health assessments to catch potential problems early. Prevention is always better than treatment!
