Dental Care
Importance of Cat and Dog Teeth Cleaning
Regular dental care is vital to your pet’s overall health. During the course of your pet’s regular wellness exams at Pantano Animal Clinic, we check for signs of dental disease or abnormalities, and make recommendations for a dental care routine you can maintain and that is right for your pet.
More than 85% of dogs and cats that are 4 years or older have periodontal disease, a condition where bacteria attack the gums and bone in the mouth. Periodontal disease begins when plaque builds up on your pet’s teeth and worsens significantly over time. Regular brushing and dog teeth cleaning can help prevent plaque build-up and periodontal disease, but nearly all pets need regular dental cleanings performed at your veterinary clinic.
