Importance of Caring for Your Pet’s Teeth

Importance of Pet Dental Care
Pets, like their owners, are susceptible to dental issues that can damage their teeth and gums. These issues are caused by the build-up of plaque and tartar on your pet’s teeth. Tartar build-up can lead to tooth infections and early signs of gum disease. In its advanced stage, gum disease can destroy the bone structure of your pet’s teeth, leading to receding gums, loose teeth, and eventually tooth loss.The good news is that many, if not all, of your pet’s dental problems, can be avoided through routine dental care. Through annual exams and cleanings, Dr. Jose Arambulo can catch problems in their early stages, so your pet can get treated right away and avoid painful symptoms. Early treatment of dental disease can keep harmful bacteria from spreading throughout your pet’s body and causing major health issues.
