Pet Dental For Pet Wellness
To ensure overall wellness for your furry friend, take your pet into your local Winnipeg veterinary clinic for an annual checkup. While there, one of our veterinarians will also check on your pet’s teeth. Pet dental problems may cause or be caused by other underlying health problems. At Sage Creek Animal Hospital, serving St. Vital, we know that your pet’s health and wellness is important, for you and us as well.
Pet Dental Symptoms
Early detection of dental problems is essential to maintaining the health of your pet. Dental disease doesn’t only affect the mouth of your pet. Issues with your pet’s teeth could also cause problems in the kidneys, liver, and heart muscles. Check your pet’s teeth and gums at least once per year to detect any early signs of cavities or disease. Bring your pet to your local Winnipeg veterinary clinic if they have any of the following:
- bad breath
- broken or loose teeth
- extra teeth or baby teeth
- discolored teeth
- abnormal chewing, drooling, or continuously dropping food
- reduced appetite or refusing to eat
- pain in or around the mouth
- bleeding from the mouth
- swelling in or around the mouth
If your pet is experiencing any of these symptoms, your local veterinarian will determine the cause. It could mean a change in your pet’s nutrition or more periodic dental cleanings. Whatever the case, our veterinarians will help to make sure your pet is in the best health.
Pet Dental Problems
Cavities in pets are less common than for humans, but there are some similarities in the types of dental problems pets may have. Some of these problems include:
- broken teeth or broken roots
- periodontal disease
- abscesses or infected teeth
- cysts or tumors in the mouth
- misalignment of the teeth or bite
- broken or fractured jaw
- palate defects
