Does your pet’s breath make you cringe?
Contrary to popular belief, stinky breath isn’t something that pet parents must simply learn to live with. In fact, it’s probably a sign that your pet needs to visit the dentist.
Without proper care, your companion’s mouth can attract and harbor dangerous bacteria, which can spread through the bloodstream and lead to many other health problems. Left untreated, dental disease can even shorten your pet’s life.
The good news is, with the appropriate support, this can all be prevented.
The professional dentistry services at JAM Veterinary Services 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 you notice any of these signs, it’s time to schedule an exam. We’ll identify the problem and address it quickly. We’ll also show you things you can do at home to help keep your pet’s teeth and gums healthy and disease-free year-round.
You deserve to enjoy lots of close snuggles with your pet. The comprehensive dental services at JAM Veterinary Services can help get you there!
