They sleep in our bed, cuddle on the sofa with us and follow us everywhere we go. Are you finding this close contact with your pet to be less than desirable due to a foul odor they emit? Is the odor of your dog or cat’s breath causing you to take pause and push them away? If so, this odor could be an indicator of something much more serious happening in your pet’s mouth. There are a number of clues to look for when determining if a pet may have oral pain and/or disease.
Because they can’t tell us they have a toothache, here are some signs to look for:
If your pet is exhibiting any of these symptoms a veterinary exam is needed to evaluate the mouth and oral cavity and determine if your pet needs a professional cleaning. With advanced periodontal disease, no amount of tooth brushing will reverse the disease process. Our pets instinctually do not show pain and periodontal disease is a painful condition. Many owners are delighted to witness the return of energy and vitality after a professional cleaning once their pets have their oral pain addressed.
