WHY DOES A DENTAL PROPHYLAXIS FOR OUR DEAR PETS IS A MUST? Dental prophylaxis is essential for our PETS because it prevents periodontal disease, which is one of the most common health issues in dogs. Poor dental hygiene can lead to severe consequences beyond just bad breath, including:
Pain and Discomfort: Accumulated plaque and tartar cause inflammation and infection, making eating difficult.
Organ Damage: Bacteria from the mouth can enter the bloodstream, leading to heart, kidney, and liver complications.
Tooth Loss: Untreated dental disease can result in weakened gums and bone loss, leading to missing teeth.
Behavioral Changes: Pain from dental issues may make dogs irritable or lethargic.
Improved Longevity: Regular dental care contributes to overall health, extending a dog's lifespan.
Routine prophylactic care, including professional scaling, polishing, and dental radiographs, helps detect and prevent issues before they escalate. Consult with us to discuss more about these issues to your pets.
