Did you know that pets are experts at hiding dental pain? We all know how painful a cavity or bad tooth can be, but did you know our pets experience the same level of discomfort and in some cases even worse? Dental disease can be difficult to identify, that is why it is crucial to keep up with Annual Examinations to ensure we catch any early signs of diseased teeth or potential for problems. Inflamed gums, bad breath, eating slower, avoiding hard foods, etc. are just some of the signs your pet may be experiencing dental discomfort.
When left untreated, dental pain can lead to infection, chronic pain, root tooth abscesses, kidney infections, heart disease, liver problems, and even sepsis. Maintaining proper hygiene is just as important for your pets as it is for yourself.
