Learn More about Pet Dental Care

Our veterinary team at Westside Veterinary Hospital in Statesboro, GA, understands the importance of pet dental care from a “veterinarian near me.” Just like their owners, pets’ teeth can also develop plague build up and gum disease. By learning more about maintaining your pet’s oral hygiene and bringing him in for routine teeth cleanings, you can help prevent more intensive procedures and keep your pet happy for years to come.

What Threats Do Pets Face to Their Oral Health?

As pets age, it’s common for tartar and plaque build up to occur on the surfaces of teeth and between teeth and gums. Just like people, if bacteria accumulates in the mouth, the gums can become swollen and irritated. This dental disease is called periodontitis and it can lead to painful decay or complete tooth loss altogether.

Preventing plaque accumulation through brushing and scheduling veterinary dental cleanings helps mitigate chances of pets developing dental decay or advanced gum disease later on. If oral care falls behind though, more intensive tooth procedures, including, surgery may be necessary.
