Does your pet’s breath cause you to run from his kisses? Do you want your pet to have pearly whites? We can take care of that, here are a few more important reasons for dental cleanings/polishing.
Studies show that up to 85% of dogs and cats over the age of four suffer from periodontal disease. Periodontal disease occurs when plaque and bacteria form around the gum line. This causes pain and inflammation, weakening the connection between the teeth and the gums. Chronic periodontal disease can lead to heart, lung, kidney and liver diseases. Mature animals on average need dental cleanings every 1-2 years. Diligent at-home dental care between cleanings can lengthen the interval between cleanings. Good dental care will help your pet live a long, healthy and happy life.
