Periodontal disease is the most common disease in dogs and cats! About 85% of dogs and cats have some form of it and are vulnerable to the pain, bad breath and tooth loss that could follow.
Chronic infections can spread to the heart, liver, lungs, and kidneys, where they can do even more damage. Research indicates that proper oral hygiene may extend the life of your pet by 2-5 years.
Routine home dental care is very important to help prevent or prolong the need for dental cleaning.
We offer several products you can use at home.
These products include:
- tooth brushes / toothpaste
- oral hygiene rinses
- water additives
- dental chews
For patients needing a dental cleaning, we offer ultrasonic scaling/polishing and for patients needing more extensive dental care we can perform dental radiographs and surgical extractions.
