Dentistry

Is bad breath coming between you and your pet?

Contrary to popular belief, stinky breath isn’t something that pet owners simply must learn to live with. In fact, it’s probably a sign that your pet could use a visit to the dentist. 

Without proper care and attention, your companion’s mouth can become a haven for bacteria, which can spread through the bloodstream and cause many other health problems, some of which could even be life-threatening.

Fortunately, with the right support, this can all be prevented.

The professional dentistry services at Lakeview Veterinary Hospital include both routine, preventative care as well as advanced treatment for existing oral conditions. 

Common signs of dental disease in companion animals include, but are not limited to:

• Bad breath
• Excessive drooling
• Dropping food 
• Sudden disinterest in chew toys
• Loss of appetite
• Swollen or painful face
• Pawing at the mouth
• Yellow, broken, loose or missing teeth
• Gums that are red, swollen or bleeding

If your furry friend is exhibiting any of these signs, it’s time to schedule a dental checkup. We’ll identify the problem and address it quickly, improving the prognosis. We’ll also show you how you can help keep your pet’s teeth and gums healthy and disease-free in between visits. 

You deserve to enjoy lots of close snuggles with your pet. The comprehensive dental services at Lakeview Veterinary Hospital can help get you there!
