Why Pet Dental Health Matters
Dental health is a critical component of your pet’s overall wellness. Just like humans, pets can suffer from issues such as gum disease, tooth decay, and oral infections, which can impact their quality of life. Regular veterinary dental care can prevent these problems and improve your pet’s overall health.
Signs Your Pet May Need Dental Care
It’s not always obvious when your pet needs dental attention. Here are some signs to look out for:
- Bad breath that doesn’t improve with home care
- Difficulty eating or chewing food
- Swollen or bleeding gums, especially after eating or chewing toys
- Loose or missing teeth may indicate advanced dental disease
- Yellow or brown tartar buildup on the teeth
- Pawing at the mouth or increased drooling
If you notice any of these symptoms, schedule a veterinary dental examination to address the issue before it worsens.

How Often Should Your Pet See a Pet Dentist?
While every pet is different, most dogs and cats benefit from annual dental exams and professional cleanings. Pets with a history of dental disease may require more frequent visits. At Stoneside Veterinary Hospital, we can create a personalized dental care plan for your pet.
Tips for Maintaining Your Pet’s Dental Health at Home
In addition to professional care, you can support your pet’s dental health with these practices:
- Brush Your Pet’s Teeth: Use pet-specific toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush.
