Dental
disease is all too common in pets over five years
of age. Bacteria in the mouth produce plaque, which if allowed
to remain on the teeth will eventually be converted to tartar,
a hard, yellow, bacteria laden matrix that covers the teeth
and gums (gingiva).
Health concerns regarding dental disease
are not only related to infections in the mouth. These disease-causing
bacteria spread by way of the bloodstream potentially infecting
healthy organs such as the heart, liver and kidneys. |
Warning
Signs of serious periodontal disease: |
|
* Bad breath
* Red, swollen gums
* Loose or missing teeth
* Decreased appetite or difficulty eating
* Pawing at mouth or sliding head along floor
* Pain or bleeding when gums or mouth are touched |
Regular dental check-ups
and home hygiene care can greatly reduce the
risk of serious health problems and costly dental procedures.
So
to ensure that your pet maintains a healthy mouth, let
us give your pets the clean breath and healthy teeth they
deserve! Call us to sign up your pet for a Dental Check
