With the second week in February traditionally recognising National Tooth Ache Day, it’s important to remember that, just like us, our furry friends can get tooth ache too! If you notice your pet has smelly breath or is drooling, chewing on one side of their mouth, pawing at their mouth, eating more slowly or choosing to eat wet food over dry biscuit, it could be that they are suffering from some kind of dental or oral issue. There are many causes of dental and periodontal pain. These can include inflamed gums, tooth decay, broken or fractured teeth, damaged enamel, painful growths and, in cats, resorptive lesions, where teeth decay from the root upwards. Ouch! If you notice any of these symptoms, please do book your pet in for a dental examination with a vet as it’s likely your pet is in significant discomfort.
Even if there are no obvious indications of a problem, regular pet dental health check ups are really important. Did you know periodontal disease (inflammation and infection of the tissues supporting the teeth) is one of the most common health issues in pets? And that pets can be really good at hiding pain?
We ideally recommend 3-6 monthly checks for pets and at very least, once a year. Give us a call on 01922 411755 to arrange your pet’s dental check up. Get in touch too to book in for advice on oral hygiene routines to keep dental and periodontal disease at bay.
