Is bad breath making it difficult to get close to your pet?
Contrary to popular belief, foul breath isn’t something that pet parents must simply learn to live with. In fact, it’s probably a good indication that your pet needs to visit the dentist.
Without appropriate care, your pet’s mouth can become a haven for bacteria, which can spread through the bloodstream and cause a number of other health problems. Left untreated, dental disease can even shorten your companion’s life.
The good news is, with support from the Deepwoods Veterinary Services team, this can all be prevented.
Our professional dentistry services include both routine, preventative care as well as advanced treatment for existing conditions.
Some of the signs of dental disease in companion animals may include:
- Bad breath
- Excessive drooling
- Dropping food
- Sudden disinterest in chew toys
- Loss of appetite
- Swollen or painful face
- Pawing at the mouth
- Yellow, broken, loose or missing teeth
- Gums that are red, swollen or bleeding
If your pet is showing any of these signs, it’s time to schedule an exam. We’ll get to the bottom of the problem and address it quickly, improving the prognosis for your loved one. We’ll also show you how you can help keep your companion’s teeth and gums healthy and disease-free year-round.
You deserve to enjoy lots of close cuddles with your pet. The comprehensive dental services at Deepwoods Veterinary Services can help get you there!
