The Importance of Pet Dentistry
Recognizing the Need for Dental Care
Every day, we brush our teeth without a second thought. Our pets, too, deserve regular dental attention. Both cats and dogs require dental care, with dogs benefiting greatly from daily brushing. Similar to human oral health, neglecting your pet’s dental needs can lead to severe issues, including heart problems.
The American Veterinary Dental Society (AVDS) reports that four out of every five dogs over the age of three suffer from periodontal disease. This condition not only affects their oral health but can also result in additional health problems and high treatment costs. Taking care of your pet’s dental health is an important part of their overall well-being, and starting early can help prevent future issues.
Signs Your Pet Needs Dental Care
Have you ever wondered, How often should I brush my pet’s teeth? For dogs, the ideal answer is every day, while cats may tolerate brushing a few times a week. Establishing a routine for both yourself and your pets is key to maintaining their oral health. To determine when a professional cleaning is necessary, keep an eye out for yellow or brown buildup along the gum line. If you notice this, it’s time to schedule a cleaning.
