Dental Disease can, quite simply, cause your pet severe pain and discomfort and may even result in a shortening of their life due to organ failure from constant bacterial seeding of the liver, heart and kidneys from gum infections.
It is estimated that 80% of dogs over three will have some degree of dental or periodontal disease and by older age many dogs will be in dire need of treatment to prevent pain, discomfort and premature death from undiagnosed and untreated dental disease.
With a good diet and preventative care with the assistance of your vet this is so very easily prevented. We check all pets teeth at the Annual Health Assessment & Vaccination and our nurses will always check your pets teeth for you free of charge if requested.
If there is a problem they will make an appointment for you to see the vet who can then decide on the best course of treatment.
In short do not underestimate the importance of looking after your pets teeth. Prevention is better than cure apples to teeth almost more than anything else to do with your pets health and well-being. if in doubt call your vet and arrange a check up.
