Dentistry

Is bad breath coming between you and your pet?

Contrary to popular belief, foul breath isn’t something that pet owners must simply accept as normal. In fact, there’s a good chance it means your pet could use a visit to the dentist. 

Without adequate care, your companion’s mouth can become a haven for bacteria, which can spread through the bloodstream and trigger a number of other health problems. Left untreated, dental disease can even shorten your loved one’s life. 

The good news is, with the right care and support, this can all be prevented.

The professional dentistry services at Happy Tails Veterinary Clinic include both routine, preventative care as well as advanced treatment for existing oral conditions. 

Some of the signs of dental disease in companion animals include, but are not limited to:

• Bad breath
• Excessive drooling
• Dropping food 
• Sudden disinterest in chew toys
• Loss of appetite
• Swollen or painful face
• Pawing at the mouth
• Yellow, broken, loose or missing teeth
• Gums that are red, swollen or bleeding

If your pet is exhibiting any of these signs, it’s time to book a dental appointment. We’ll identify the problem and address it quickly, improving the prognosis for your loved one. We’ll also show you how you can help keep your pet’s teeth and gums healthy and disease-free year-round. 

You deserve to enjoy lots of close cuddles with your pet. The comprehensive dental services at Happy Tails Veterinary Clinic can help get you there!
