Why Dental Care Matters for Dogs & Cats
By age three, most dogs and cats show signs of dental disease. Without routine teeth cleanings and oral exams, plaque and tartar can lead to painful infections, gum disease, loose teeth, and even damage to the heart, kidneys, and liver. At our Garden Grove animal hospital, we believe prevention is the best medicine—and that includes the mouth.
Signs your pet may need dental care include:
- Persistent bad breath
- Yellow or brown buildup on the teeth
- Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
- Loose, broken, or missing teeth
- Dropping food while eating or chewing on one side
- Pawing at the mouth or face
If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s time to bring your pet in for a comprehensive dental evaluation. Our goal is to catch issues early—before they become painful or costly to treat.
