When to Tell if Your Pet Needs Dental Care: Recognizing Symptoms

Regular dental care is essential for your pet, but how do you know when they need extra attention? Keep an eye out for these symptoms that may indicate a need for pet dentistry:

1. Bad Breath:
Persistent bad breath can signify dental issues, including decay or infection. If your pet’s breath is consistently unpleasant, it’s time for a dental check-up.

2. Difficulty Eating:
Changes in eating habits, reluctance to chew, or pawing at the mouth may indicate dental pain. If you notice these behaviors, consult our pet dentists for a thorough examination.

3. Excessive Drooling:
Increased drooling, especially if sudden or unusual for your pet, can indicate dental problems. Our team can identify and address the underlying causes.

4. Swollen Gums or Discolored Teeth:
Inflamed gums or discolored teeth can signal dental issues such as gingivitis or tooth decay. Schedule a pet dentistry appointment if you observe these symptoms.
