The Importance of Dental Health:
85% of Adult Pets Have Dental Disease
One of the most debilitating diseases that your pet can develop during its lifetime is dental disease. Unfortunately, dental disease is also one of the most common problems we see in our patients at the Animal Medical Center. There is good news though. Through appropriate preventive measures and prompt treatment of problems as they arise, we can deal with these dental problems before they become a serious threat to your pet's health.
Routine dental care is not only important for your pet’s oral health, but also for his or her overall health. If dental disease is left untreated, it can progress to periodontal disease that can lead to oral abscesses, diseased teeth and eventually can cause damage to internal organs such as the heart and kidneys.
At the Animal Medical Center, we are proud of the level of dental care that we can provide for our patients. Our doctors and staff take a special interest in providing the best possible veterinary dental care. We are constantly updating our knowledge in the field of veterinary dentistry to provide you with the latest and best recommendations for optimal oral health.
