How Does Your Pet's Mouth Look?

Dental disease is the most common disease in dogs and cats.  According to the Amercian Veterinary Dental Society, 80% of dogs and 70% of cats show signs of oral disease by age 3.  Peridontal disease is caused by accumulation of bacteria (plaque) on the surface of teeth.  This causes inflammation of the gingiva (gums), which causes destruction of bone under the gumline.  This leads to loose teeth and is very painful for your pet.


Signs of Dental Disease:

     •  Red gums
