Is bad breath normal in pets? While it may be easy to brush off unpleasant breath as just part of your pet’s life, it is an indicator of an oral infection. The malodor is usually caused by byproducts of bacteria that form plaque, and, if not treated, dental disease. If you’ve noticed your pet’s bad breath, it’s time to give our clinic a call at 903-784-4391  and schedule a dental exam and cleaning.

Many dental procedures require your pet to be anesthetized, which can be stressful to some pet owners. While there is always a risk when a pet is anesthetized, a thorough pre-op examination and blood work—along with individualized anesthetic protocols and monitoring—provides a lower risk of complications during anesthesia.

Without anesthesia, your veterinarian is unable to clean beneath the gumline, where bacteria build up and can destroy the tissues surrounding the tooth. Just cleaning the surface of the teeth only makes them whiter and has minimal effect on your pet’s overall oral health. Scaling without proper polishing leaves the tooth surface rough and provides more surface area for bacterial plaque to adhere to.

🤔True or false: oral disease is an inevitable part of aging.
❌False. Regular dental home care and routine professional cleanings can help ward off dental disease as they age. Just as age is not a disease, dental disease is not inevitable for senior pets.
