Your pet might not be able to tell you when something’s wrong, but their behavior and physical symptoms can speak volumes. Recognizing the early signs of dental problems is key to ensuring timely intervention.
Common Signs of Dental Issues
- Bad Breath: Persistent bad breath is often the first sign of dental disease.
- Difficulty Eating: If your pet avoids hard food or chews on one side, it could indicate pain.
- Excessive Drooling: Drooling more than usual may signal discomfort or an oral injury.
- Swollen Gums or Bleeding: These symptoms often point to gingivitis or more severe gum disease.
- Loose or Missing Teeth: This can indicate advanced dental disease that requires immediate attention.
When to Seek Help
If you notice any of these signs, schedule a professional dental evaluation. Early treatment can prevent more serious complications and improve your pet’s quality of life.
