Maintaining your pet’s dental health is
essential
for their overall well-being, and professional cat and dog teeth cleaning services play a crucial role. Keeping your pet’s teeth clean helps prevent and treat dental disease, a common infection that can lead to serious health issues such as heart, liver, and kidney infections. Regular dental appointments at Indian Head Animal Hospital can help prevent dental disease and its complications.
How Dental Disease Can Affect Your Pet
Dental disease in pets is caused by a buildup of tartar and plaque on their teeth, which allows bacteria to slip under the gums and enter the bloodstream. This can lead to severe health problems if left untreated.
Signs of dental disease in pets include:
Bad breath
Red or swollen gums
Drooling
Dropping food while eating
Chewing on only one side
Rubbing at the face or mouth
Avoiding chew toys
