How to Identify Dental Disease in Your Pet

Pets often hide discomfort, which means dental disease can progress quietly for months before obvious symptoms appear. Early recognition helps prevent serious complications and keeps your pet feeling their best.

If left untreated, dental disease can lead to periodontal infections, tooth and bone loss, and damage to the heart, kidneys, and liver. By prophylactically cleaning your pet’s teeth, we can help prevent serious problems from developing and keep their smile bright and infection-free.

Common signs of dental or oral disease include:

  • Persistent bad breath

  • Red or swollen gums

  • Yellow or brown tartar buildup near the gumline

  • Drooling

  • Difficulty chewing

  • Pawing at the mouth

  • Loose or missing teeth

  • Visible pain during eating
