Protecting Your Pet’s Oral Health for a Longer, Happier Life
Just like humans, pets need regular dental care to prevent pain, infections, and serious health issues. At Grand Ave. Pet Hospital, we provide professional dental exams, ultrasonic scaling, and treatments to ensure your pet’s teeth and gums stay healthy. Overlooking oral hygiene can lead to periodontal disease, which not only affects the mouth but can also impact major organs through bacterial translocation.
Why Pet Dental Care is Essential
🐾 Prevents Dental Disease – Reduces plaque buildup, gum infections, and tooth loss
🐾 Prevents Bad Breath – Eliminates odor-causing bacteria for fresher breath
🐾 Protects Internal Organs – Bacteria from the mouth can spread and damage the heart, liver, and kidneys
🐾 Improves Comfort & Nutrition – Helps pets eat pain-free, ensuring proper nutrition
🐾 Enhances Overall Health – A healthy mouth contributes to a strong immune system and higher energy levels
Signs Your Pet Needs Dental Care
🔹 Bad breath (persistent foul odor)
🔹 Yellow or brown tartar buildup on teeth
🔹 Bleeding, swollen, or red gums
🔹 Excessive drooling or pawing at the mouth
🔹 Difficulty chewing or refusal to eat
🔹 Loose or missing teeth
If you notice any of these symptoms, schedule a dental exam immediately to prevent further complications.
