Did you know? The majority of dogs and cats show signs of periodontal disease by age three. It starts quietly — a little plaque, a little tartar, and progresses to painful gum infection, bone loss, and loose teeth. And because pets instinctively hide pain, most parents never see it coming. 🦷
The earlier periodontal disease is caught, the simpler (and gentler) the treatment. A professional oral exam with full mouth intraoral radiographs can reveal what's really going on beneath the surface.
Three years old is not too young for a dental checkup. It's right on time. And we see puppies and kittens too — it's never too early to start.
