🦷 Why Pet Dental Care Matters

Dental disease is the #1 health issue in dogs and cats over age 3 — and it doesn’t just stay in the mouth. Left untreated, it can lead to:

• Gum infections and tooth loss
• Kidney, liver, and heart problems
• Constant pain or trouble eating
• Bad breath and drooling

Just like humans, pets need regular dental care to prevent long-term issues.

🪥 What’s Included in a Professional Dental Cleaning?

• Pre-anesthetic bloodwork and monitoring
• Ultrasonic scaling to remove tartar
• Polishing to prevent future buildup
• Tooth-by-tooth inspection
• Extractions (if needed, and always discussed first)

We use safe, modern equipment and keep your pet calm and comfortable throughout the process.

📆 How Often Should You Schedule Cleanings?

It depends on your pet’s breed, age, and genetics. As a rule of thumb:

• Small breeds: every 6–12 months
• Large breeds: every 12–18 months
• Cats: every 12 months

🧴 At-Home Dental Tips

• Use pet-safe toothbrushes and toothpaste (never human toothpaste!)
• Try dental chews or water additives
• Feed dental-supportive food if recommended by your vet
• Check gums for redness, bleeding, or swelling

But remember — brushing doesn’t replace professional cleanings!
