Why Pet Dental Care Is Important
Just like humans, pets need regular dental care to prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and painful infections. Studies show that over 80% of dogs and 70% of cats develop some form of dental disease by age three. Without proper care, poor oral health can lead to bad breath, difficulty eating, tooth loss, and even systemic health issues affecting the heart, liver, and kidneys.
Signs Your Pet May Need Dental Care:
- Bad breath (halitosis)
- Difficulty eating or chewing
- Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
- Loose or missing teeth
- Pawing at the mouth or excessive drooling
If your pet is showing any of these symptoms, it’s time to schedule a dental exam.
