Odontology
The dental health of a dog is as important as that of a person, as it’s essential for its health in general. At La Arboleda Veterinary Hospital, we offer you advice to take care of your dog’s mouth on a daily basis.
If the vet deems it necessary, he will perform a professional dental cleaning. This cleaning is similar to what our dentists does, but in animals, it’s usually necessary to perform it under general anesthesia.
When to go to the clinic?
Without a doubt, the best way to prevent dental diseases is to go to the clinic at least once a year for check-ups. In other cases, to detect and cure different diseases in your dog’s teeth or gums, you will need to watch out for different symptoms:
– Tartar deposits (yellow or brown) on your pet’s gums
– Bad breath
– Sensitivity
– Bleeding or swollen gums
– Difficulties when eating
