Dentistry
Is bad breath driving a wedge between you and your pet?
Contrary to popular belief, foul breath isn’t something that pet owners simply must learn to live with. In fact, it’s probably a sign that your pet could use a visit to the dentist.
Without proper care, your pet’s mouth can become a haven for dangerous bacteria, which can spread through the bloodstream and lead to a number of other health problems. Left untreated, dental disease can even shorten your companion’s lifespan.
Thankfully, with the right support, this can all be prevented!
The professional dentistry services at Ermineskin Veterinary Hospital include both routine, preventative care as well as advanced treatment for existing oral conditions.
Some common the signs of dental disease in companion animals include, but are not limited to:
- 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 exhibiting any of these signs, it’s time to schedule a dental exam. We’ll identify the problem and address it quickly, improving the prognosis for your loved one. We’ll also show you things you can do at home to help keep your pet’s teeth and gums healthy and disease-free year-round.
You deserve to enjoy lots of close snuggles with your pet. The comprehensive dental services at Ermineskin Veterinary Hospital can help get you there!
