When to Tell If Your Pet Needs Dental Care
Pets can’t tell us when they’re experiencing dental issues, so it’s important to watch for signs. Here are some symptoms that indicate your pet may need dental care:
Common Symptoms of Dental Problems
- Bad Breath: Persistent bad breath is often a sign of dental issues.
- Red or Swollen Gums: Inflammation can indicate gum disease.
- Difficulty Eating: If your pet is dropping food or avoiding their kibble, it may be due to dental pain.
- Excessive Drooling: Drooling more than usual can be a sign of oral discomfort.
- Loose or Missing Teeth: This can be a sign of advanced dental disease.
- Pawing at the Mouth: Pets may paw at their mouth if they are in pain or uncomfortable.
If you notice any of these signs, schedule a dental check-up with us as soon as possible. Early detection and treatment are key to preventing serious dental problems.
