Dental disease is one of the most common health conditions we see in dogs and cats, and it often starts quietly. February is Pet Dental Health Month, making it a great time to focus on your pet’s oral health and take advantage of $100 off dental cleanings at Town and Country Animal Hospital.
Whether your veterinarian has already recommended a dental cleaning or you are just starting to notice changes at home, we are here to help you decide what’s next.
When a Dental Cleaning Has Been Recommended
If your veterinarian has advised a dental cleaning, scheduling the procedure is the next important step. Plaque and tartar continue to build over time, and untreated dental disease can lead to painful infections, tooth loss, and damage to vital organs such as the heart, liver, and kidneys.
A professional dental cleaning allows our veterinary team to remove plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline, addressing issues that brushing and dental treats cannot. Your pet is placed under anesthesia so they remain comfortable, stress free, and closely monitored throughout the procedure.
Not Sure If Your Pet Needs a Dental?
If you are unsure whether your pet needs a dental cleaning, a consultation is a great place to start. During an exam, our team can evaluate your pet’s mouth, discuss any concerns you may have, and determine whether a dental procedure is recommended now or if preventative care is still appropriate.
This is especially helpful for pets who have never had a dental cleaning or if it has been a while since their last one.
Signs at Home That Shouldn’t Be Ignored
Bad breath is often the first sign pet parents notice, but it is not the only one. Red or bleeding gums, visible tartar, drooling, difficulty eating, or changes in appetite or behavior can all indicate dental disease. Pets are very good at hiding discomfort, so even subtle changes can be meaningful.
If you notice anything concerning, scheduling a dental exam sooner rather than later can help catch problems early and prevent unnecessary pain.
Why Dental Cleanings Matter
Dental cleanings are about more than fresh breath. A healthy mouth plays an important role in your pet’s overall health and comfort. After a dental procedure, many pet parents notice improved appetite, increased energy, and a happier, more comfortable pet.
