Why Is Pet Dental Care Important?

Oral health is directly connected to your pet’s overall well-being. Poor dental hygiene can lead to gingivitis, periodontal disease, tooth decay, and serious infections that may spread throughout the body. By the age of three, 80% of dogs and 70% of cats show signs of dental disease—but with regular cleanings and preventive care, you can help your pet maintain a healthy and pain-free smile.

How Often Should Pets Have a Dental Cleaning?

The American Veterinary Dental College (AVDC) recommends annual dental exams and professional cleanings for most pets. However, some pets may require more frequent cleanings, especially those prone to dental disease or small breeds that often have overcrowded teeth.

During your pet’s wellness visit, our veterinarians will assess their oral health and recommend the best dental care routine for their needs.
