Dental disease is quite common in animals with approximately 85% of pets developing some form of gum disease by the time they are 3 years old. Just as in humans, dental disease is painful, but because pets do not have the same ability to communicate their discomfort as we do, dental problems would always be overlooked. Additionally, an unhealthy mouth can lead to other problems such as bad breath, tooth loss and in more serious instances, liver and heart disease. Signs of dental problems in your pet may include bad breath, red swollen gums, eating difficulties, yellow/brown tartar build-up on teeth and drooling.
We at Ormonde Veterinary appreciate that dental care is a vital part of your pet’s preventative health care plan, so particular attention is paid to the gums and teeth during your pet’s annual health exam. Our healthcare team is always on hand to advise you of all aspects of your pet’s dental hygiene, including proper diet and tooth brushing. We choose to use Hills T/D food or Calibra Dental care to help all our patients keep their teeth in great shape.
We also offer our clients and their pets a complete array of veterinary dental care services including comprehensive dental cleanings, polishing’s, tooth extractions and other pet dental procedures including dental X Rays.
As plaque builds up on your pets’ teeth, it hardens into tartar and damages the teeth and gums. This results in the disease known as gingivitis. Signs of gingivitis include bad breath and reddened gums. If left untreated, gingivitis can cause periodontal disease, a serious infection that can damage the teeth and gums and lead to severe health problems elsewhere in your pet’s body. If your pet is exhibiting any of the following symptoms, please call us.
- Discomfort while chewing
- Pawing at the mouth
- Bad breath
- Difficulty swallowing
- Inflamed or bleeding gums
