Dentistry

Is stinky breath coming 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 a sign that your four-legged friend needs to visit the dentist. 

Without proper care, your pet’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 your loved one’s life. 

The good news is, with the right support, this is preventable.

The professional dentistry services at Brentwood Animal Hospital 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 companion is showing any of these signs, it’s time to schedule an exam. We’ll pinpoint the problem and address it quickly, improving the chances of a good prognosis. We’ll also show you how you can help keep your pet’s teeth and gums healthy and disease-free in between visits. 

You deserve to enjoy lots of close snuggles with your furry friend. The comprehensive dental services at Brentwood Animal Hospital can help get you there!
