Dental Disease

The result is bad breath, reddened gums, and other common signs of dental disease. As dental disease progresses, other signs can include drooling, discomfort while chewing, and loose or missing teeth. Even if you’re using treats and chews to help control tartar, these are frequently not enough to keep the dental disease in check. Ask us about the best ways to control plaque and help protect your pet from dental disease.
