Most of us have heard how important it is to brush and floss regularly, and also get regular dental cleanings and checkups. However, not everyone knows how important proper dental care is to their pet’s health. Consequently, an estimated 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats develop periodontal disease by the age of three. For these reasons, it can help to know a little bit about why regular teeth cleanings are important to your pet’s dental health.
Here are four good reasons why you’ll want your pet to have regular teeth cleanings:
- Keeps your pet’s teeth free of plaque and tartar buildup
- Helps keep your pet’s tooth enamel strong
- The vet takes x-rays to check for possible tooth damage above and below the gumline
- Your pet will get a basic dental checkup as part of the dental screening
If you have more questions about dental screenings or wish to schedule an appointment for your pet, feel free to call your vet clinic Rockwall, TX today!
