Keeping with our theme this month of good oral hygiene and dental care for your pets, we decided to write a little bit about the importance of dental cleaning. Before we get to cleaning though, let's quickly cover what leads to tartar build-up and eventually dental disease. The following factors can contribute to dental disease in your dog or cat: Age: Dental disease becomes more common as your pet get's older Breed: Some breeds have teeth that are overcrowded making it more difficult to keep teeth and gums clean. Food: Wet or sticky food can lead to a more rapid buildup of plaque. If your pet has developed tartar, it's time to consider a dental cleaning. We offer state of the art dental cleanings that include full mouth dental radiographs. If you haven't had your dog or cat in to see a professional for their cleaning, please consider doing so with us. Our annual dental cleanings for dogs and cats include:
If you suspect that your pet has more serious issues with gingivitis, consult your veterinarian. There are many treatment options centered around diet that can positively impact your pet's dental health. Make a dental cleaning appointment for your pet today!

It was really informative when you said that the complete pet oral exam, like identifying the periodontal problems, must be done while the pet is under anesthetics. I will be sure to mention this to my sister since she will be taking her pet to the vet soon. Since after the cleaning, her put will undergo an exam, it is best that she knows what to expect. Thank you!

Thanks for helping me learn more about the importance of good pet dental care. My sister is about to give me one of her beagle puppies and I wanted to learn more about how to take care of pets before the puppy arrives home. I had no idea that the chance of a pet to get dental diseases increases the more they age. I should probably start her early on rather than just bringing her to the vet each time an issue happens.
