AUGUST IS DENTAL MONTH!!! FREE DENTAL CHECKS!!!
Dental care for animals offers numerous benefits, including preventing pain and discomfort, reducing the risk of serious health problems, and improving overall well-being. Regular dental cleanings can prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath, while also potentially extending an animal's lifespan.
1. Pain Prevention:
Dental problems like gum disease, tooth decay, and infections can cause significant pain and discomfort for pets.
Animals may hide their pain well, making it difficult for owners to recognize the issue.
Regular dental care can prevent these painful conditions from developing or worsening.
2. Prevention of Serious Health Issues:
Bacteria from infected gums can enter the bloodstream and spread to vital organs like the heart, liver, and kidneys.
This can lead to serious health problems and potentially shorten an animal's lifespan.
Good dental hygiene helps minimize the risk of these systemic health issues.
3. Fresher Breath:
Bad breath is often a sign of dental problems like gum disease or tooth decay.
Regular dental cleanings can eliminate the bacteria that cause bad breath, resulting in fresher breath for your pet.
4. Prevention of Tooth Loss:
Untreated dental problems can lead to tooth loss in pets.
Keeping teeth and gums healthy through regular care helps prevent tooth loss and allows pets to eat comfortably as they age.
5. Cost Savings:
Preventive dental care, such as regular cleanings, is generally more cost-effective than treating advanced dental diseases.
Addressing dental issues early can help avoid more expensive procedures later on.
6. Enhanced Quality of Life:
By preventing pain, infections, and tooth loss, dental care significantly improves an animal's overall quality of life.
A healthy mouth allows pets to eat comfortably, play, and interact with their owners without discomfort.
7. Early Detection of Problems:
Regular dental check-ups at a veterinary clinic can help detect dental problems early, before they become severe.
This allows for timely intervention and treatment, preventing more serious complications.

The team are excited because August is Dental Awareness month at Camperdown Vet Centre! 🦷
Did you know that over 80% of dogs and 70% of cats show signs of dental disease by age 3?

Dental disease doesn’t just cause bad breath—it can lead to pain, tooth loss, and even affect your pet’s major organs (kidney and liver).

Let’s keep those tails wagging and kitty's purring—with happy, healthy mouths! 😁
