🦷 Is Your Pet Hiding a Toothache? 🐶🐱
Did you know most dogs and cats show signs of dental disease by age 3? Just like us, pets need regular dental care to stay healthy — but unlike us, they can’t tell you when something’s wrong. Dental disease is one of the most common (and often overlooked) health issues in dogs and cats, especially as they age.
✨ What is dental disease?
It’s a build-up of plaque and tartar that leads to inflamed gums, infection, tooth loss, and even damage to internal organs if left untreated. It can be painful, but pets often suffer in silence.
🚩 Signs your pet might have dental disease:
🔹 Bad breath
🔹 Drooling or pawing at the mouth
🔹 Difficulty eating or chewing on one side
🔹 Red or bleeding gums
🔹 Loose, broken, or missing teeth
🔹 A sudden change in appetite or mood
🔹 A sudden change in weight
🦷 How we can help
At our clinic, we offer professional dental scale & polish procedures, complete with full dental x-rays to assess the health of the teeth below the gumline. If needed, we can also perform tooth extractions to relieve pain and prevent further infection.
💤 These are day procedures performed under general anaesthesia, and most pets go home the same day — feeling fresher, happier, and healthier!
✅ Prevention is key! Regular dental checks and home care (like dental diets or brushing) can go a long way.
