dental care and upkeep for your pet.
Regular dental upkeep is a big part of preventive care for cats and dogs. Pet dental care is usually a combination of steps you can take at home to keep your pet’s teeth in good shape, like brushing their teeth or dental treats, as well as cleanings performed by a veterinarian. We provide complete pet dentistry for cats and dogs at Everett Veterinary Hospital.
Why is Dentistry Important for Pets?
Dental health is a crucial aspect of your pet’s overall well-being. At Everett Veterinary Hospital, we emphasize the significance of regular dental check-ups during your pet’s annual wellness exam. During these exams, our veterinarians inspect your pet’s teeth for signs of plaque and tartar, which result from the hardening of bacteria build-up, similar to what occurs in humans between dental cleanings.
One of the first signs of a problem is often bad breath, though many pet owners assume that’s just a normal part of cats and dogs. If pet dental disease is not addressed, it can escalate into gingivitis—where bacteria infect beneath the gum line, causing painful inflammation. Advanced pet dental disease may lead to significant health problems, including organ damage from bacteria entering the bloodstream. Regular pet dental care can prevent these serious complications and keep your pet healthy and happy.
