Dentistry

Is bad breath causing a rift between you and your pet?

Contrary to popular belief, bad breath isn’t something that pet parents simply must learn to live with. In fact, it’s probably an indicator that your pet needs to visit the dentist. 

Without adequate care, your companion’s mouth can become a haven for bacteria, which can spread through the bloodstream and cause a number of other health problems. Left untreated, dental disease can even shorten an animal’s life. 

The good news is, with the support and guidance from the Clearview Veterinary Hospital team, this can all be prevented.

Our professional dentistry services include both routine, preventative care as well as advanced treatment for existing oral conditions. 

Some of the signs of dental disease in pets 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 loved one is showing any of these signs, it’s time to schedule an exam. We’ll identify the problem and address it quickly, improving the prognosis for your pet. We’ll also show you how you can help keep your companion’s teeth and gums healthy and disease-free year-round. 

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