Why Do Pets Need Regular Dental Care?

Cats and dogs may not show discomfort the way people do, but dental disease can cause significant pain, infection, bad breath, and even internal health problems if left untreated. Plaque and tartar build up quickly, and once they harden, they must be removed professionally under anesthesia. Regular dental care helps prevent periodontal disease, protects vital organs, and keeps your pet eating, playing, and living comfortably. Routine yearly exams help us catch early signs of dental issues before they impact your pet’s quality of life.
Watch for signs such as bad breath, yellow or brown tartar, bleeding or red gums, pawing at the mouth, or difficulty chewing. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s time for an oral exam. Most pets benefit from annual dental cleanings, though those with small mouths, flat faces, or existing dental issues may require more frequent care. Our team can recommend the right schedule for your pet based on their breed, age, and oral health.
