At our hospital, we believe veterinary dental care is essential to your pet\u2019s overall health and well-being, and it is just as important as vaccinations, nutrition, and routine checkups. Unfortunately, it\u2019s often one of the most overlooked aspects of veterinary care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-xl-font-size\">We provide dental services for , because every pet deserves a clean, pain-free mouth and the comfort that comes with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-xl-font-size\">According to the American Veterinary Dental Society, over 80% of dogs and 70% of cats show signs of dental disease by age 3. Periodontal disease in pets is the most common clinical condition affecting adult pets, and it progresses quietly, often without apparent symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n<div                    class=\"avg-block avg-button avg-rendered has-text-align-center\"    >\n<a class=\"btn btn-solid btn-outline-hover btn-primary btn-secondary-hover\"\n   target=\"_self\"\n       href=\"https:\/\/avghive.com\/template\/schedule-appointment\/\">\n    Schedule Visit    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div                    class=\"avg-block avg-section avg-rendered section\"    >\n    \n<div                    class=\"avg-block avg-container avg-rendered container\"    >\n    \n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-off-white-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div                    class=\"avg-block avg-image-content avg-rendered\"    >\n    <div class=\"grid grid-cols-1 lg:grid-cols-2 sm:gap-x-8 lg:gap-x-16 items-center\">\n        <div class=\"content relative\">\n            <div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">THE REASON WHY<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your Pet&#8217;s Dental Health Matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental disease isn\u2019t just about bad breath. It starts with plaque and tartar buildup, which leads to inflamed gums, infections, and eventually tooth loss.

In severe cases, these infections can become life-threatening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These complications can affect any pet, but dental infections are especially common in dogs and cats, making regular checkups and cleanings vital for their long-term health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At our hospital, we take dental health seriously because we know it\u2019s about more than clean teeth\u2014it\u2019s about helping your pet live a longer, happier, and more comfortable life.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"image\">\n            <div class=\"w-full h-full aspect-[2\/1.5] bg-gray-200\"><\/div>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div                    class=\"avg-block avg-section avg-rendered section\"    >\n    \n<div                    class=\"avg-block avg-container avg-rendered container\"    >\n    \n<div                    class=\"avg-block avg-accordion avg-rendered section-content accordion\"    >\n    <div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Common Signs of Dental Disease in Pets<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" width=\"1.4em\" height=\"1.4em\" class=\"plus-circle\"><use href=\"#plus-circle\"><\/use><\/svg><\/summary>\n<p>Your pet may not be able to tell you they\u2019re in pain, but there are signs you can look for, including:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span class=\"list-item-inner\">Yellow or brown tartar buildup on the teeth.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span class=\"list-item-inner\">Red, swollen, or bleeding gums.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span class=\"list-item-inner\">Persistent bad breath.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span class=\"list-item-inner\">Drooling more than usual.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span class=\"list-item-inner\">Difficulty chewing or dropping food.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span class=\"list-item-inner\">Pawing at the mouth or face.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span class=\"list-item-inner\">Loose or missing teeth.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span class=\"list-item-inner\">Changes in behavior, such as fatigue or irritability.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if your pet seems fine,<strong>&nbsp;dental disease can progress silently<\/strong>.
