Pet Dental Health
Importance of Maintaining Your Pet’s Dental Health
Dental health is important not only for humans, but for our pets as well, as their dental health is directly linked to their well-being. Neglecting your pet's dental health can lead to various health problems, including pain, infection, and even organ damage. There are multiple reasons and benefits to scheduling regular dental cleaning services for your pet, including:
- Prevents Disease: Pets can also suffer from dental diseases such as gum disease, tooth decay, and oral infections. Regular dental cleanings can prevent the buildup of plaque and tartar which can lead to these dental diseases.
- Helps Maintain Overall Health: The bacteria from the mouth can enter the bloodstream and cause infections in other organs such as the heart, liver, and kidneys, and lead to other medical conditions.
- Detect Underlying Conditions: Dental cleanings involve the inspection of your pet’s gums, as well as their teeth, so the veterinarian is able to detect any underlying health issues, such as heart disease, diabetes, and liver disease.
By keeping your pet’s dental hygiene well-maintained, you can help greatly improve and maintain their quality of life, allowing them to live longer as they can eat and play without interference. It is recommended to have your pet’s teeth cleaned once a year, but the veterinarian may recommend a higher frequency based on your pet’s specific dental needs.
