IT’S DENTAL MONTH
Dental disease and gum disease are extremely common in pets. Around 85% of pets over the age of 3 years suffer from some degree of dental disease. Dental disease leads to foul smelling breath, gingivitis, infections and pain.
We encourage our clients to keep an eye on their pet’s dental health all year round, but for the month of AUGUST we are strongly focussing on getting your pet’s gums and teeth as healthy as they can be!
What happens in a Nurse Dental Check?
- Thorough assessment of your pet’s mouth and teeth.
- Identify any tartar build-up and gum disease.
- Explain what happens during a dental scale and polish.
- Discuss the importance of dental radiographs (x-rays).
- Discuss the possibility of tooth extractions.
- Discuss ongoing dental disease prevention.
