🐱🦷🐶 We recommend your dog having a yearly check-up to help you identify any signs of periodontal disease that may be forming. Call us today to discuss your furry family’s dental exam and what preventative steps you can take now at 661-949-9389.

Bad breath may be a sign of periodontal disease that could lead to other health problems. Periodontal disease starts when plaque (a bacterial film) coats the tooth. Plaque hardens (calcifies) into tartar, a thick yellow or brown layer on the teeth. Tartar can irritate the gums, creating an environment where bacteria thrive.

As dental disease progresses, the gums become tender, red, and swollen and the bacteria continue to multiply. Eventually, the inflamed gums pull away from the teeth, creating pockets that trap more bacteria and food particles. The gums bleed, the roots of the teeth may become exposed, teeth may become loose, and your pet may feel pain when eating. If the bacteria enter the bloodstream, they can create problems for organs such as the heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys.

Signs of Dental Problems:
* Bad breath
* Sensitivity around the mouth
* Loss of appetite
* Yellow or brown deposits on the teeth
* Bleeding, inflamed, and withdrawn gums
* Loose or missing teeth
* Pawing at the mouth or face
* Difficulty chewing

Is your pet due for a dental cleaning?
