Make 2018 the Year you Take Care of Your Pet’s Dental Health
Did you know that 4 out of 5 dogs and cats show some sign of Gum Disease?
Veterinarians call Gum Disease, also known as periodontal disease, ‘The Silent Killer’ because it goes unnoticed and can lead to fatal conditions such as heart disease.
How can you tell if your pet has periodontal disease?
Does your pet have bad breath?
Do their gums bleed easily?
These are the first stages of periodontal disease to watch for. At this point, periodontal disease can be reversed. However once there is bone loss, periodontal disease is irreversible and your pet will lose teeth.
How old should your pet be to have its first dental cleaning? Veterinary dentists recommend a dental cleaning at 2-3 years of age. We have created a young adult teeth cleaning special for pets under 3 years of age. This is a preventative teeth cleaning done at an early age where we can reverse or even prevent periodontal disease from developing.
At Happy Pets Veterinary Center, we are great advocates of the “Orastrip” test. This test only takes a few minutes to run and gives us so much information. A positive result not only detects the presence of periodontal disease, it also lets us know the severity of the periodontal disease present. We use this test to determine if your pet needs an anesthetic or a non-anesthetic teeth cleaning done.
Ignoring that your pet may have periodontal disease will not make it go away, something needs to be done. Together with home dental care and regular veterinary cleanings we can save your pet’s teeth. Let’s make this happen, let us help your pet’s teeth survive a lifetime.
At Happy Pets, we will develop a treatment plan with you that sets your pet up for success. Give us a call to schedule your appointment with us at 661-295-9972. You may also visit us online at www.happypetsveterinary.com.
