Dental Care for Dogs

Dog’s mouth is prone to infections that cause bad breath and odor. The most common infection is the periodontal disease which affects 75% of dogs of 2 years of age and above.  Without proper dental care for dogs, the disease can spread past the oral cavity and may affect other organs like the kidney, heart, and liver, if not treated properly. Animal dental care and oral surgery are often necessary to address advanced cases. Periodontal therapy intends to reestablish oral health and treat the infection causing pain, bone loss, and organ damage. To avoid recurrence, maintaining oral health through pets dental care is crucial. To prevent the recurrence of infection, regular check-ups with a pet dental specialist and consistent dental care for pets should be maintained by periodontal therapy and home dental care.
