Dentistry

Is stinky breath coming between you and your pet?

Contrary to popular belief, halitosis isn’t something that pet owners simply must learn to live with. In reality, it is a red flag that your pet needs to visit the dentist.

Without appropriate care, your companion’s mouth can harbor and multiply dangerous bacteria, which can spread through the bloodstream and cause several other health problems. Left untreated, dental disease can lead to chronic pain and shorten your loved one’s life.

Thankfully, with the right support, this can all be prevented.

The professional dentistry services at All Pets Veterinary Center include both routine, preventative care as well as advanced treatment for existing oral/dental disease.

Common signs of dental disease in companion animals, especially exotics, include, but are not limited to:

• Bad breath
• Excessive drooling
• Dropping food 
• Sudden disinterest in chew toys
• Loss of appetite
• Swollen or painful face
• Pawing at the mouth
• Yellow, broken, loose or missing teeth
• Gums that are red, swollen or bleeding

If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to schedule a dental exam. We’ll identify the problem and address it quickly, improving the chances of a good prognosis. We’ll also show you how you can help keep your pet’s teeth and gums healthy and disease-free in between visits. 

You deserve to enjoy lots of close snuggles with your pet. The comprehensive dental services at All Pets Veterinary Center can help get you there!
