There are many ways to promote healthy teeth and gums in pets, but it can be challenging to know when or how to get started. It’s never too early or too late to make a positive impact on a pet’s teeth and gums. The more a pet owner knows about potential dental conditions, the greater chance of preventing and/or treating them.

February marks National Pet Dental Health Month, and tooth resorption in cats and dogs is just one important dental issue to learn about. As a way to achieve optimal pet dental health, BEEVET can help owners recognize the signs of tooth resorption and when to get help for a pet.

We all know how important good dental care is for ourselves and our kids. We brush our teeth twice a day, floss, and see our dentist for professional cleanings twice a year. But did you know that the same kind of care for our pets is just as important?

It’s true! Besides controlling bad doggy (or kitty!) breath, regular dental care for pets can prevent a whole host of problems, including tooth loss, bacterial infection in the mouth, and even systemic diseases of the heart, liver, and kidneys.

And with most pets experiencing dental disease by the time they are 3 years of age, it’s no surprise that BEEVET Animal Hospital recommends daily tooth brushing, regular pet dental exams, and regular professional dental cleanings to help keep our pets at their best.

Some owners are nervous when we recommend pet dental cleaning, so we thought this a good opportunity to delve into what happens during this very important procedure.
