Oral hygiene is a very important aspect of pet helath care. It is estimated that 80% of pets more than three years of age have significant dental disease.
The same conditions that lead to our tooth and gum disease also occur in your pet's mouth.
Cavities are not common but peridontal disease (the loss of bone around the tooth below the gum line) causes pain and discomfort. It also puts your pet at risk for other diseases icluding , lung, heart, kidney, and joint infections. This happens when infected and bleeding gums allow bacteria to enter the blood stream and travel to these organs.
At Kincardine Veterinary Services we believe in a Complete Oral Health Assessment and Treatement (COHAT) for every patient. This may entail bushing you new puppies teeth and ensuring their adult teeth come in properly, or addressing tartar build up and possible extration on diseased teeth on the older pet.
