Dental Care
Tartar is a silent killer among pets, especially cats. That’s why we offer top-notch dental care.
Routine Dental Care
Did you know when your pet’s teeth aren’t cared for, they face the same health problems as humans with poor oral hygiene? That’s right, your pet’s health depends on proper dental care. When teeth aren’t maintained, plaque and tartar build up along the gum line, creating pockets where harmful bacteria thrive. This is called periodontal disease. Left untreated, gum disease can lead to oral health problems, plus organ damage, blood infections, and even death.
At Coffee Memorial Animal Clinic, your animals teeth will be cleaned, polished, and some teeth may be extracted depending on the health of the tooth. This process will require additional charges that you can call us about and we would be happy to explain the dental cleaning process.
Signs Of Periodontal Disease And Other Dental Problems
Pets don’t always outwardly display signs of pain or other discomfort, as they instinctively try to mask health problems. If your pet has an oral health issue, you might notice some of the following signs or symptoms:
- Bad breath
- Red, swollen gums
- Swollen face
- Bleeding in the mouth
- Excessive drooling
- Loose or missing teeth
- Discomfort when picking up toys
- Discomfort or difficulty eating and drinking
