Just like humans, pets need regular dental check-ups to maintain a healthy smile and prevent serious health issues. Dental problems in pets often go unnoticed until they become severe, which is why routine check-ups are essential.
Why Are Dental Check-ups Important?
- Prevention of Gum Disease: Gingivitis and periodontitis can lead to tooth loss and painful infections.
- Detection of Hidden Issues: Vets can identify problems like abscesses, broken teeth, or tumors early.
- Improved Overall Health: Poor dental hygiene can lead to systemic infections affecting the heart, liver, and kidneys.
What to Expect During a Check-up
A typical dental exam includes a thorough inspection of your pet’s mouth, checking for plaque, tartar, and any signs of disease. Some pets may require professional cleaning to remove stubborn tartar and prevent future issues.
