One of the most common and useful medical diagnostic procedures is radiography or X-rays. The term X-ray originates from 1895 when the German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen discovered the technique. Since he was unsure what exactly was producing the image on his plates, he titled his paper "On a New Kind of Rays" and the term “X-rays” was substituted for unknown rays.https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet =radiographs

It’s an unfortunate fact that nearly 80% of dogs and 70% of cats have periodontal disease by the age of 3. Many pets don’t display signs of problems even though they are in pain, so getting your pet used to having their teeth brushed is good for their health and wellness.

While it’s best to teach your pet to accept toothbrushing while they are still young, adult dogs and cats can be trained. It may take a little longer, but it’s worth the effort. Associating rewards with the sessions, before, during and after, can help keep dental care a positive event.

Get your pet scheduled with one our doctors to discus your pet's dental health! Call us at (810) 635-4015 or visit https://vcahospitals.com/swartz-creek to schedule an appointment!
