Dental health problems can be serious for your animal. Dental infections can cause not only gum and jaw damage but damage to other organs such as the heart, kidneys and bladder as well. Tartar contains bacteria that can get into the blood stream and cause damage to vital organs.

For this reason, the veterinarian will examine your pet’s teeth and discuss possible plans with you.

For less serious cases, there are different options for good oral hygiene at home : brushing, chews, mouthwash, food additives, dental diets…

For more serious cases with signs of infection, procedures under general anesthesia are recommended :

tartar removal/scaling, polishing, extractions if needed, dental x-rays...
