Did You Know… • Dogs have 28 baby (or deciduous) teeth and 42 adult teeth? • Cats have 26 baby (or deciduous)teeth and 30 permanent teeth? • Periodontal disease is the #1 diagnosed disease in household pets! • By the age of 3 an estimated 70% of cats and 80% of dogs have some form of periodontal disease. • Periodontal disease and bacteria buildup on the teeth can lead to heart, kidney and liver disease. • Good dental care and yearly dentals can add another one to two years to your pets life!
Signs you pet may have periodontal disease… • Red irritated gums • Bleeding gums • Yellow-brown tartar • Difficulty chewing or dropping food • Change in eating habits • Pawing at the mouth • If you notice any of these signs Please consult you veterinarian For a full dental exam!
Preventing periodontal disease • Annual veterinary exams are essential to maintaining good dental care in your cat or dog. • Daily brushing is the “Gold Standard” of dental care, even a few days a week can make a substantial difference. • If daily brushing is not an option, ask us about our Perio Support (probiotic that you put on their food) and Aquadent (water additive) or our various dental chews! • Feed hard food whenever possible, it will help scale and clean the teeth as they eat. • Yearly or bi yearly cleanings are a great way to get a complete exam of all the teeth and gums, as well as scale off the plaque that has built up on the teeth.
Your pet needs a dental, now what? • Your veterinarian will determine if your pet is in need of a dental based on many different criteria. • Blood work will be recommended to assure your pets organs are functioning to go under anesthesia. Usually the benefit of the cleaning will outweigh the anesthetic risk. • A dental cleaning is a same day procedure and they typically feel better quickly especially if teeth are bad. • Your pet will be sedated, teeth and gums examined, teeth will be scaled with an ultrasonic scaler, polished and fluoride will be applied.
