| Believe it or not,
dogs and cats are diagnosed with dental diseases more than other
infections. Needless to say, nobody wants their pet suffering from a
painful inflammatory condition in which bacteria attacks the gums,
periodontal ligaments and bone tissue that surrounds and supports the
teeth.
So what is a good pet owner to
do? Simple, aside from regular brushing, have one of our veterinarians
examine your pets mouth at their annual exams. Regular dental
checkups are important to maintaining not only your pet's oral health,
but overall health.
