Dentistry
Our dentistry services play a vital role in maintaining the overall health and well-being of our furry companions. Just like humans, pets can suffer from dental issues that, if left untreated, can lead to more serious health problems.
Understanding the Importance of Dentistry for Your Pet
Just like humans, pets require regular dental care to prevent dental issues that can lead to discomfort, pain, and even severe health complications. Our pet dentistry services encompass various preventive and therapeutic treatments designed to address various dental conditions and promote optimal oral health.
It’s essential for pet owners to be vigilant for signs indicating that their furry friends may require dental attention. Some common symptoms of dental issues in pets include:
- Persistent bad breath
- Excessive drooling
- Difficulty chewing or reluctance to eat
- Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
- Loose or missing teeth
- Pawing at the mouth or face
- Changes in behaviour, such as irritability or lethargy
If you notice any of these signs, it’s crucial to schedule a dental check-up for your pet promptly.
