Dental disease is one of the most common health conditions affecting dogs and cats, and it often develops quietly. February is Pet Dental Health Month, making it the perfect time to focus on your pet’s oral health and take advantage of $100 off dental cleanings at Columbia Pike Animal Hospital and Emergency Center.
Whether your pet has already been recommended for a dental cleaning or you are just starting to notice changes at home, our team is here to help.
When a Dental Cleaning Has Been Recommended
If your veterinarian has recommended a dental cleaning, scheduling the procedure is an important next step. Plaque and tartar continue to build over time, and untreated dental disease can lead to painful infections, tooth loss, and damage to vital organs such as the heart, liver, and kidneys.
A professional dental cleaning allows our veterinary team to remove plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline, areas that brushing and dental treats cannot reach. Your pet is placed under anesthesia so they remain comfortable, stress free, and closely monitored throughout the procedure.
Not Sure If Your Pet Needs a Dental?
If you are unsure whether your pet needs a dental cleaning, a consultation is a great place to start. During an exam, our team can evaluate your pet’s mouth, discuss any concerns, and determine whether a dental procedure is recommended now or if preventative care is still appropriate.
This is especially helpful if your pet has never had a dental cleaning or if it has been several years since their last one.
Signs at Home That May Point to Dental Disease
Bad breath is often the first thing pet parents notice, but it is not the only sign. Red or bleeding gums, visible tartar, drooling, difficulty eating, or changes in appetite or behavior can all indicate dental disease. Because pets are very good at hiding pain, even subtle changes can be meaningful.
If you notice anything concerning, scheduling a dental exam sooner rather than later can help catch issues early and prevent unnecessary discomfort.
Why Dental Cleanings Matter
Dental cleanings are about much more than fresh breath. A healthy mouth plays an important role in your pet’s overall health and comfort. Many pet parents notice improved appetite, increased energy, and a happier, more comfortable pet after a dental procedure.
