Dental Care
Ensuring proper dental care for your pet is crucial for their overall health and happiness. Neglecting dental hygiene can result in gum disease, cavities, and even serious health conditions like heart and kidney disease. At Easyvet, we provide a range of dental care services to maintain your pet's dental health.
What is Dental Disease?
Dental disease, also known as periodontal disease, is the inflammation of teeth and gums due to the accumulation of plaque. Plaque consists of food particles, saliva, and bacteria that adhere to the tooth surface and, if left unattended, will harden into tartar. Approximately 85% of cats and dogs aged three and older are affected by periodontal disease.
Symptoms of Dental Diseases:
- Persistent bad breath
- Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
- Difficulty eating or chewing
- Drooling excessively
- Loose or missing teeth
- Receding gums
- Sensitivity to touch around the mouth
- Visible pus around the teeth or gums
- Facial swelling
- Behavioral changes (e.g., irritability, reluctance to eat)
Common Dental Diseases:
- Periodontal disease
- Tooth decay (cavities)
- Tooth fractures
- Oral tumors
- Tooth root abscess
- Gingivitis
- Stomatitis
- Malocclusions (misaligned teeth)
- Feline odontoclastic resorptive lesions (FORL) in cats
Ways to Prevent Dental Diseases:
- Regular brushing of your pet's teeth with animal-safe toothpaste
- Providing dental chews and toys designed to reduce plaque
- Feeding a balanced diet, including dental-specific food if recommended
- Avoiding table scraps and high-sugar treats
- Regular veterinary dental check-ups and cleanings
- Using water additives designed to reduce oral bacteria
- Monitoring for early signs of dental issues
- Providing a safe environment to prevent dental trauma
