Oral health care:
Periodontal disease affects more
than 80% of adult dogs and cats. More than just causing bad breath,
the bacteria in the mouth can cause inflammation of the gums, loose
or abscessed teeth leading to premature tooth loss. This bacteria
also causes pain and chronic infections that can
spread to the heart, lungs, liver and
elsewhere to create
further damage. The same basics that apply to humans for
preventative oral health care also apply to our pets. There are
many choices,
like daily brushing,
rinses, pastes, chewable treats,
or applied gels. On the occasion that your pet is in
need of a professional dental cleaning, Triadelphia Veterinary
Clinic is staffed and equipped to perform basic prophylaxis as well
as tooth extractions. Healthy
teeth make for a happy pet!
