When Does Your Pet Need Dental Care?

Maintaining your pet’s dental health is crucial for their overall well-being. Here are some signs that indicate your pet may need dental care:

• Bad Breath: Persistent bad breath can be a sign of dental issues such as periodontal disease or tooth decay.
• Visible Tartar Buildup: If you notice yellow or brown deposits on your pet’s teeth, it’s a sign of tartar buildup that requires professional cleaning.
• Difficulty Eating: Pets experiencing pain while eating or showing reluctance to chew may have dental problems that need attention.
• Bleeding or Swollen Gums: Inflamed or bleeding gums are indicative of gum disease, a common dental issue in pets that requires prompt treatment.
• Loose or Missing Teeth: Loose or missing teeth can result from dental trauma or advanced dental disease and should be addressed by a veterinarian.
