vet assistant cleaning dogs teethJust like humans, dogs require regular dental care to ensure they lead happy and healthy lives. Dental health is often overlooked, but it plays a significant role in your furry friend’s overall well-being.

PREVENTING ISSUES
Regular dental checkups can help prevent a myriad of dental issues such as plaque and tartar buildup, gum disease, and tooth decay. These problems can lead to pain, discomfort, and even affect your dog’s ability to eat.

FRESH BREATH
Ever noticed your dog’s breath becoming – let’s just say – less than pleasant? Dental issues are a common cause of bad breath in dogs. A dental cleaning can help eliminate the bacteria causing the odor, leaving your dog with fresher breath.

IMPROVING OVERALL HEALTH
Dental problems don’t just stay confined to the mouth. Bacteria from dental issues can enter the bloodstream, potentially leading to more serious health issues such as heart, liver, and kidney diseases. By maintaining good dental health, you’re safeguarding your dog’s overall health.

ENHANCING COMFORT AND HAPPINESS
Imagine trying to enjoy a meal with a toothache – it’s not a fun experience. You pets may suffer in silence, and dental issues can impact their quality of life. Regular dental care ensures your furry companion stays comfortable and happy.

DURING THE DENTAL CLEANING
A typical dental cleaning for your pet involves a thorough examination of the mouth, scaling to remove plaque and tartar, polishing to smooth the tooth surfaces, and removing any bad teeth.

BEFORE/AFTER THE DENTAL CLEANING
Maintenance is one of the best ways to prevent bigger issues when it comes to dental health. Providing dental chews and treats and feeding a balanced diet that promotes good dental health are two ways to maintain a healthy mouth!
