Why Dental Hygiene Is Important for Pets

Dental hygiene is important for pets because neglected teeth can lead to a variety of serious illnesses. Think about your teeth. If you never brushed or flossed them, it could lead to tooth decay and periodontal disease. These can result in even more serious conditions that could have long-term consequences for your beloved pet. Pet dental hygiene is as important as any other pet care that you provide for your pets. If you are looking for pet dental care in Katy, TX, or the surrounding areas, consider Grand Park Animal Clinic.

Improving Your Pet’s Dental Hygiene 

Brushing is an important part of pet dental care. Daily brushing is ideal, but several times a week is better than nothing. Be prepared for some resistance at first. However, dogs can easily be trained to tolerate dental cleaning. We also offer products to remove plaque through chewing. Our veterinarian will assess the health of your pet and recommend methods and products for improving your pet’s dental health.

Pet Dental Care From a Trusted Veterinarian

When you take your pet in for their yearly wellness exam, our veterinarian will examine your pet's teeth and gums, looking specifically for any broken or loose teeth. Our veterinarian will also check for tartar and staining. To properly clean your pet’s teeth, our veterinarian may place your pet under anesthesia. Anesthesia relaxes your pet and allows our veterinarian to perform comprehensive pet dental care while also examining your pet’s gum line, where many dental issues begin.
