Why Do Pets Need Dental Cleanings?

Have you ever wondered why pets need dental cleanings? After all, they don't need a winning smile like we do! As it turns out, there are several reasons why regular dental cleanings are so important for your pet's health. Keep reading to discover the most important benefits of dental cleanings for pets.

Preventative Care

Dental cleanings are the best way to prevent dental diseases and other oral health issues like gingivitis, periodontal disease, and tooth decay. By removing plaque and tartar buildup from your pet's teeth, their chances of developing oral health problems will be greatly reduced.

Pain Relief

Dental cleanings can also help to relieve any pain your pet may be experiencing due to an existing dental issue. During the cleaning, any infected or diseased teeth will be removed and the remaining healthy ones will be polished. This will help reduce inflammation and improve your pet's overall comfort level.

Improved Overall Health

Regular dental cleanings can help improve your pet's overall health in several ways. For example, tartar buildup can cause bacteria to enter the bloodstream, leading to infection and other serious medical problems. By removing this buildup, your pet will be less prone to these types of issues.

Overall, regular dental checkups and cleanings are essential for keeping your pet's teeth and gums in good condition – and their whole body too! So, make sure to take your pet for regular checkups to help ensure they stay healthy and happy

Do you have an adorable squishy face pup? Do you ever hear it snorting, panting or seeming to struggle with their breathing? Brachycephalic dogs like frenchies, pugs, and bulldogs often have nostrils too small, and too much tissue in their soft palate inside their mouth.
You may not realize it, but their anatomy can pose a risk to their overall health, and we can help with corrective surgery!
Contact us for an appointment to discuss your squishy faced friend.
