Periodontal disease is a progressive, gradual destruction of the gums caused by bacteria. This dental disease can be life threatening because dangerous bacteria can enter the bloodstream and wreak havoc in your pet’s internal organs. The fact is that dental disease can kill.
If your pet has bad breath, periodontal disease may be the cause. Any build up of yellowish or brownish material on the teeth is calculus, tartar or plaque—all signs of periodontal disease which should be checked by one of our doctors.
During your pet’s examination, the doctor will evaluate your pet’s current dental health condition and give you a dental estimate for any necessary procedures. If it is determined that a dental treatment is in order, we can schedule a dental cleaning and polishing. Anesthesia is required for this because your pet won’t hold still and open wide on command. While your pet is under anesthesia, we will also perform a thorough oral exam, take x-rays if required, and perform any additional services, such as extractions.
Your pet may require fewer cleanings and enjoy good breath with daily brushing using toothpaste and toothbrush especially for pets. Suwanee Animal Hospital also has special treats and chews that help lessen the buildup of tartar on your pet’s teeth.
By taking good care of your pet’s teeth, you can enhance your pet’s overall health so you can enjoy each other longer!
