Pet Dentistry

Because our pet’s use their mouths for almost everything, it is important that we maintain and keep their teeth as healthy as possible. Dental disease is one of the most common problems in pets—hindering their ability to interact with other animals and even play with their toys! Dental conditions that are left untreated can cause pain, infections, and tooth loss.

Giles County Animal Hospital Dentistry:

Your pet’s oral hygiene is a key component of your pet’s overall health and wellbeing. Just like humans, our pets can develop and accumulate tartar and plaque buildup in their mouths, which can then cause inflammatory diseases and infections. When left untreated, these conditions can cause serious problems and compromise the quality of life of your pet.

At-Home Dental Care

The best thing that you can do to help your pet maintain good oral hygiene is to brush their teeth at home. At-home dental care is the most effective way of ensuring that your pet does not develop any tartar or plaque buildup.

Make sure that when you brush your pet’s teeth at home you are using a pet tooth brush and pet dental paste. In addition, it is important to create a routine for your pet—so try to always brush your pet’s teeth every day and at the same time.
