Keeping up with dental care is an important part of being a good pet parent.
Dental health issues in your pet can be an indication of a more serious health issue. Once a year, your pet’s teeth and gums should be examined by a veterinarian to look for early signs of dental health problems. Pets should also have regular dental cleanings for the best oral health. We offer comprehensive pet dental care in Oakland Park and encourage you to contact us if your pet is due for an exam.
Oral Health Issues in Pets
It can be difficult to tell when our pets are suffering from dental problems. Because your pet cannot communicate directly with you, it may not be obvious that he or she is in pain. Your pet may exhibit more subtle signs of dental problems. Some of these signs include:
Swelling in or around the mouth
Abnormal chewing
Discolored teeth
Bad breath
Broken, loose, or missing teeth
Bleeding in the mouth
Increased irritability
Excess tartar
Extra teeth or baby teeth that remain
Unusual eating habits
Pain in the mouth
It is not uncommon for our pets to develop dental problems for the same reasons that humans do. While this list is not exhaustive, many oral health symptoms are caused by:
Infected teeth or gums
Broken teeth
Abscesses
Periodontal disease
Broken jaw
Misalignment of the teeth or bite
Palate defects
Always proceed with extreme caution when dealing with a pet’s mouth. Animals under stress may bite more frequently, so we encourage you to seek veterinary care for dental problems. We’ll make sure to perform a thorough examination to get your pet feeling like themself again.
We're here for you!
