Is your pet’s breath impacting your relationship?
Contrary to popular belief, stinky breath isn’t something that pet owners must simply ‘learn to live with.’ In fact, it’s probably a sign that your pet could use a visit to the dentist.
Without adequate intervention, your companion’s mouth can become a haven for bacteria, which can spread through the bloodstream and cause a number of other health problems. Left untreated, dental disease can even shorten your loved one’s life.
The good news is, with the right support, this is entirely preventable.
The professional dentistry services at Sibley Animal Hospital include both routine, preventative care as well as advanced treatment for existing oral conditions.
Some of the signs of dental disease in dogs and cats include, but are not limited to:
- Bad breath
- Excessive drooling
- Dropping food
- Sudden disinterest in chew toys
- Loss of appetite
- Swollen or painful face
- Pawing at the mouth
- Yellow, broken, loose or missing teeth
- Gums that are red, swollen or bleeding
If your pet is showing any of these signs, it’s time to schedule a dental exam. We’ll pinpoint the problem and address it quickly, improving the prognosis for your loved one. We’ll also show you ways to help keep your pet’s teeth and gums healthy and disease-free in between visits.
You deserve to enjoy lots of close snuggles with your four-legged friend. The comprehensive dental services at Sibley Animal Hospital can help get you there!
