Dental

Your pets' dental care is of great importance to their general health. Once your pet starts showing signs such as Bad Breath, Yellow-brown crust on teeth or inflamed gums, serious dental disease may already be present. It is also important to know that some pets may show little or no signs of dental disease.

Regular dental check ups with your vet and special dental care diets, assists in lowering the risk of dental disease.

How can dental disease affect my pets other organs?

Because the mouth is an area rich in blood vessels bacteria from the mouth can easily gain access to the blood stream lodging in the kidneys, liver and heart causing disease in these organs. Problems arising from dental disease are among the most common conditions we see here at Sunshine Coast Vets.

An annual scale and polish is essential to reduce the discomfort associated with inflamed gums and general lethargy experienced by your pet as a result of chronic infection of the mouth from dental disease.
