The Benefits of Dental Care for Your Pets

The Benefits of Dental Care for Your Pets

We humans eat a lot of things that are bad for our teeth, such as sweets, soda, and wine. That’s one of the reasons it’s so important we brush twice a day.

Since our friends in the animal kingdom don’t eat these things, it’s natural to think that our pets don’t need the same care. But even without the ravages of sugar and caffeine, there is still plenty that can come against our pets’ dental health. These are just a few of the benefits of dental care for your pets.

Managing Oral Diseases

Dental diseases such as periodontal disease or tooth resorption are the most common problems that veterinarians come across. This is because many pets develop a dental disease by the time they reach three years old. Some of the symptoms of these conditions include:

  • Increased drooling
  • Teeth discoloration
  • Inflamed or bleeding gums
  • Difficulty chewing
  • Pawing at mouth
  • Loss of teeth
  • Growths in the mouth

While it is not always possible to prevent oral diseases from developing, consistent, quality dental care can help keep oral diseases from progressing and prevent your pet from losing or breaking their teeth.

Stopping Halitosis

As much as we love puppy kisses, it’s hard to pretend their breath is fresh. But preventing bad breath in our animals isn’t just a matter of making it easier to be close to your pet. Halitosis can potentially signal the development of bacteria that can lead to oral diseases. Dental care stops this bacterium, resulting in healthier teeth and fresher breath.

Improving Overall Pet Health

The bacterium that causes bad breath and dental disease doesn’t always stop at your pet’s teeth. From the gums, bacteria can enter the bloodstream in a process called bacteremia. As bacteremia sets in, bacteria can damage your pets’ organs such as the kidneys, liver, and even the heart.

As with humans, the benefits of dental care for your pets don’t end with pristine, pearly white teeth. Dental health and overall wellness go hand in hand. For happier, healthier animals, see our veterinary dental specialists today for a consultation for your pets.

It’s interesting that you suggested finding a dentist that is experienced in the specific problem you are having. I have been looking for someone to help fix my son’s cavities. I can see how it would be nice to find someone that has done them before because that way I would know they have the knowledge required for the job.

But despite the old conventional wisdom that a dog’s mouth is cleaner than a humans, dogs can still develop problems like tartar and plaque buildup and gingivitis.

The most common disease in pet animals is periodontal disease. They are also subject to broken teeth, orthodontic problems and even cavities.

I never knew that your pet's bad dental health could affect your furry friend if left unattended. My colleague mentioned that he's about to receive a beagle as a pet from his sister. I believe it would be a good preventive measure to seek out a veterinarian that can treat this before it gets worse.

These procedures should be performed by a veterinarian or a board-certified veterinary dentist. Subject to state or provincial regulation,

Thank you for talking about how a dentist for your pet stops halitosis. I am getting my first pet cat this year. I will find a reputable veterinarian locally for her as well.

It really helped when you talked about pet dental care and how it's key to prevent oral diseases! A few days ago, my sister adopted a stray puppy, and now, she treats her like a little princess! My sister loves her puppy, and I'm sure she'd be interested in protecting her pup's denture, so I'll share your article with her now! Thank you for the advice on periodontal disease and its symptoms on dogs!

I never knew that pets can also have oral problems and should be consult a pet dentist. I have a cousin who thinks that her pet has a dental problem because she is not eating properly and asked if I have any idea what is the best option to do. I wanted to thank you for your explanation about the importance of identification to our pet and I'll be sure to tell her that she can consult a trusted veterinarian as they can answer all her inquiries and will provide the proper treatment.

It got me when you said that having quality dental care for our pets would help keep their oral health in good condition such as avoiding diseases. With that in mind, I will look for animal teeth cleaning service this year for my dog which I've had for a year now. I hope that I am not too late in this aspect because I did not know the importance of this until now that I've read your article.

there are some accidental conditions which can harm your pet so its better to know about dental health of your pet and you should always concern doctor instead of being as doctor yourself. you can get info about dental health at VetandTech which is a marketplace for instruments and they also provide some educational stuff on their site.

I want to make sure that my dog has healthy teeth. It makes sense that I would want to try and brush his teeth! I can see how visits to the vet could be helpful too, because they could help out with that.

Preventing oral diseases in a dog by getting regular dental cleanings for them sounds really important. With how much my dog likes to bite random objects, I can bet that it'll encounter problems like those if we don't manage its teeth well. I'll ask around for any veterinarians that can help me out with getting regular cleanings for my dog.

I was captured when you discussed that bacteria can affect your pet's organs. My friend told me that his kitten needs an ultrasound. I should advise him to look for a clinic that performs small animal ultrasound.

I never took into account the fact that the most common problem that veterinarians come across with our pets is dental diseases. With that in mind, I should look for a dog care facility with reputable veterinarians to ensure that I am getting the best services from actual experts. It will be the first dog that we have ever had which is why we still have a lot to learn regarding its health and safety.

It helped when you mentioned that the overall health of your pet could be healthy starting with healthy oral healing. My pet-lover cousin told me last night that she was hoping to find a pet ultrasound. She thinks her cat is pregnant because she was showing pregnancy signs. She asked me if I had any idea what would be the best option to consider. Thanks to this enlightening article, I'll tell her that she can consult a veterinary hospital as they can provide information about the process.

You make a great point about checking for inflamed gums. My dog has some major swelling that needs to be looked at. We'll have to take him to the vet soon.
