According to experts, more than fifty percent of pet dogs and cats have dental problems by reaching three years of age. Pets’ dental health is as important as their medical health. Veterinarians have long been emphasizing the importance of having a dental regimen, which starts as early as possible to prevent dental diseases. The most common indicator of a dental problem is halitosis or bad breath caused by plaque buildup. Without proper intervention, plaque hardens and forms into tartar, usually along the gum line. Only a veterinarian can remove your pet’s tartar. When tartar spreads, a bacterial infection may occur, leading to the formation of abscesses and tooth loss. It may also enter the blood and eventually affect the body organs.
Maintaining oral hygiene in pets is a must. Ensure that you brush your pet’s teeth regularly at home. Your pet will benefit from regular health and dental checks at your local veterinarian Scottsdale AZ.
