Dentistry

Is bad breath coming between you and your pet?

Contrary to popular belief, foul breath isn’t something that pet owners must simply “learn to live with.” In fact, it’s likely a sign that your pet needs to visit the dentist. 

Without proper care, your pet’s mouth can become a haven for dangerous bacteria, which can spread through the bloodstream and lead to a number of other health problems. Left untreated, dental disease can even shorten your best friend’s life. 

The good news is, with the right care and support, this can all be prevented.

The professional dentistry services at Britannia Animal Hospital include both routine, preventative care as well as advanced treatment for existing oral conditions. 

Some of the signs of dental disease in companion animals include, but are not limited to:

• Bad breath
• Excessive drooling
• Dropping food 
• Sudden disinterest in chew toys
• Loss of appetite
• Swollen or painful face
• Pawing at the mouth
• Yellow, broken, loose or missing teeth
• Gums that are red, swollen or bleeding

If your pet is showing any of these signs, it’s time to schedule a dental exam. We’ll identify the problem and address it quickly, improving the prognosis. We’ll also show you how you can help keep your pet’s teeth and gums healthy and disease-free year-round with at-home care. 

You deserve to enjoy lots of cuddles and snuggles with your pet. The comprehensive dental services at Britannia Animal Hospital can help get you there.
