How to Keep Your Pet's Teeth Healthy

Maintaining your pet's dental health is crucial. Poor oral hygiene can lead to various health issues, including dental disease, which can affect the heart, liver, and kidneys if left untreated. The brushing requirements to ensure good oral health vary from animal to animal. Partner with our veterinarian to promote good dental health at Bixby Animal Clinic in Long Beach, CA.

Pet Dental Care

Your pet could suffer from cavities, gum disease, oral infections, and more. Regular cleanings can lower the risks of such conditions and promote good oral health. This routine makes pet dental care an effective form of preventative care.

You may notice signs that your pet is suffering from issues with oral health. Many pets will experience bad breath. You might also see bleeding gums or excessive build-ups of plaque and tartar on the teeth.

Your pet may struggle to eat. As a pet owner, you must watch for such warning signs. Early treatment provided by our vet can prevent a lot of suffering.

Addressing Pet Health Issues

It’s smart to seek out our veterinarian. We can check your pet’s oral health and help with preventative care by cleaning your pet’s teeth. In addition, we can select a diet that’s good for pet dental health.

There are also steps you can take at home. Dental chew toys and treats often work well with dogs. Reducing sugar in your pet’s diet can also go a long way. You can also brush your companion’s teeth at home using special pet toothpaste and brushes.
