Caring Hearts, Healthy Pets
Booking your appointment has never been easier!
At Coweta Animal Hospital, we recognize the vital role dental care plays in your pet’s overall health. Regular dental care is not just about maintaining a bright smile—it’s essential for preventing serious health issues down the line.
According to the American Veterinary Dental Society, by the age of three, 80% of dogs and 70% of cats show signs of oral disease. This makes it one of the most common health issues in pets. Symptoms often begin subtly with tartar buildup, red and swollen gums, bad breath, or changes in eating and chewing habits. Some pets may even start pawing at their face or show signs of discomfort and depression.
If left untreated, these early signs can escalate, leading to the deterioration of the soft tissues and bones surrounding the teeth. This can eventually cause irreversible periodontal disease and tooth loss. Moreover, bacteria from untreated dental infections can enter the bloodstream, posing serious risks to your pet’s overall health, including kidney infections, liver disease, lung disease, and heart valve disease.
We are dedicated to helping you prevent these serious issues through proactive dental care. At Coweta Animal Hospital, we offer personalized recommendations and demonstrations of effective at-home dental care routines. By maintaining your pet’s oral health between professional cleanings, you can help them avoid the discomfort of advanced dental disease and the need for costly treatments in the future.
Our goal is to keep your pet’s smile healthy and bright for years to come. By taking preventive measures now, you can ensure your pet enjoys a happy, healthy life with a beautiful, pain-free smile.
