Why Is Dental Care Important for Your
Pet’s Health?
Proper dental care is essential for your pet’s overall health, not just clean teeth. Regular dog and cat dental care helps prevent diseases that can lead to serious health issues. Without routine checkups, pets may suffer from painful conditions like loose teeth, gingivitis, or infections that can spread. At Urban Pawz Animal Clinic, we follow the highest standards set by the AAHA, AVDC, and ACVAA, ensuring your pet receives the safest, most effective dental care.
What Are the Benefits of Veterinary Dental Care?
Routine dental care benefits your pet’s overall health, not just their teeth. Here’s why dental care is essential for their well-being:
Prevention of Dental Disease
Routine checkups and cleanings help prevent dental disease, reducing pain and discomfort for your pet.
Reduced Risk of Systemic Infections
If left untreated, dental disease can allow bacteria to enter the bloodstream, increasing the risk of infections in the liver, heart, or kidneys.
Improved Quality of Life
A healthy mouth leads to a happier pet. Proper dental care helps prevent painful issues like abscesses and oronasal fistulas, ensuring your pet’s well-being.
Common Pet Dental Problems Treated at
Our Clinic
Our pet dentist in South Florida is well-equipped to handle a variety of dental issues. Some of the most common problems we treat include:
Loose or Fractured Teeth
Caused by trauma or decay, these can be incredibly painful for your pet.
Gingivitis
Inflammation of the gums, often a precursor to more serious dental diseases
Retained Baby Teeth
These can cause misalignment and other dental problems as your pet grows.
Oral Masses
We identify and treat oral growths that may require biopsy or removal.
How Often Should Your Pet Get a Dental Checkup?
We recommend evaluating your pet’s teeth annually to assess the need for a thorough oral exam and cleaning. Dental cleanings are usually required once a year, depending on age, breed, and chewing habits. Our team will create a personalized dental care plan tailored to your pet’s needs.
At-Home Pet Dental Care Tips:
While professional cleanings are essential, at-home dental care plays a big role in maintaining your pet’s oral health. We recommend:
Daily Brushing
Ideally, you should brush your pet’s teeth daily to prevent plaque buildup.
Dental Chews
These can help reduce tartar and are a great supplement to regular brushing.
Food Supplements and Water Additives
These products, approved by the Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC), are designed to support your pet’s dental health between professional cleanings
