At Bingle Vet, we understand that your pet’s health is a top priority, especially as the back-to-school season approaches. August is the perfect time to take advantage of our dental disease special and ensure your dog or cat maintains a healthy smile. Regular dental cleanings are essential for your pet’s overall well-being, and here’s why.
Why Dental Health Matters
Dental disease is one of the most common health issues in dogs and cats, affecting up to 80% of pets over the age of three. Plaque and tartar buildup can lead to gingivitis, periodontal disease, and even tooth loss if left untreated. Beyond the mouth, poor dental health can contribute to serious systemic issues, including heart, kidney, and liver problems, as bacteria from infected gums can enter the bloodstream.
Benefits of Professional Dental Cleanings
A professional dental cleaning at Bingle Vet goes beyond what at-home brushing can achieve. Our veterinary team uses specialized tools to remove plaque and tartar, polish teeth, and examine your pet’s mouth for signs of disease. This thorough process, performed under anesthesia for your pet’s comfort and safety, helps prevent painful dental issues and promotes long-term health.
- Prevents Pain and Discomfort: Cleanings remove tartar buildup that can cause gum inflammation and tooth decay, ensuring your pet can eat and play comfortably.
- Reduces Risk of Systemic Issues: By eliminating harmful bacteria, cleanings lower the risk of infections spreading to vital organs.
- Improves Overall Health: A clean mouth supports better digestion, stronger immunity, and a happier pet.
Signs Your Pet Needs a Dental Cleaning
Watch for symptoms like bad breath, yellow or brown teeth, red or swollen gums, difficulty eating, or excessive drooling. If you notice these signs, it’s time to schedule a dental visit. Even if your pet seems fine, annual dental checkups are recommended to catch issues early.
