Like people, pets need regular professional dental care.

Although you may brush your teeth and floss twice per day, you still visit your dentist for professional cleanings. Your furry pal likely doesn’t get their teeth brushed nearly as often, and all that plaque and tartar accumulation can create serious systemic illness. Up to 80% of pets have some form of dental disease by the age of 3, and many pet owners don’t realize the extent of the damage until their pet has issues eating.

Signs of Dental Disease

Your pet’s bad breath doesn’t just affect their mouth—it can be a sign that oral bacteria is traveling throughout the bloodstream and attacking the heart, liver, and kidneys.

At the first sign of dental disease, call the experienced team at CompleteCare Veterinary Center to schedule an oral exam for your pet. You may notice the following periodontal problems in your pet that indicate dental disease is present:

Red, inflamed gums

Excessive drooling

Brown or yellow buildup on the teeth

Dropping food out of one side of the mouth when chewing

Reluctance to eat

Avoidance of hard foods

Pawing at one side of the face
