Yesterday was dog-mom duty 🐶 🦷
I took Apex to Animal Hospital to see the wonderful Dr. Sparks for an ear infection check… and of course, I somehow still ended up nerding out over teeth.
Because look at this.

As a dental hygienist, I couldn’t help but admire the precision. Veterinary dentistry is no joke. Our pets need periodontal care too, and plaque doesn’t discriminate between species.
Friendly reminder:
✔️ Bad breath isn’t “just dog breath”
✔️ Dental disease in dogs can affect systemic health
✔️ Preventive care matters for humans and their four-legged children
Shoutout to Dr. Sparks for taking such great care of Apex’s ears. Audio reflects how I feel Dr. Sparks would sing to Taylor Swift during a dental procedure 🤭
Oral health truly is a family affair around here.
