Dental
Did you know dental health is one of the most overlooked pet health care concerns? Unfortunately, delaying or postponing dental health care will lead to mouth or tooth pain and eventually tooth loss. Dental disease doesn’t affect just the mouth. It can also lead to liver, kidney, heart and immune system disease.
The American Veterinary Dental Society reports that 80% of dogs and 70% of cats show signs of oral disease by age three.
Warning signs to look for in your pet:
- Bad breath
- Sensitivity around the mouth
- Difficulty chewing
- Weight loss
- Yellow or brown deposits on the
teeth
- Loose or missing teeth
- Bleeding, inflamed, or receding
gums
- Loss of appetite
- Pawing at the mouth or face
- Dropping treats
The Animal Hospital of West Chester’s check-ups include monitoring your pet’s dental health, but if you see any of these signs between visits, give us a call at 513-777-5131.
