Dental Care for your pets is important!
Maintaining healthy teeth & gums is essential and will improve your pets' overall well-being. Even if teeth need to be extracted, pets do much better once bad teeth have been removed! Gums actually heal and harden once a tooth has been pulled and pets will eat like they normally would. On the other hand, if loose/infected teeth remain in the mouth it becomes a source of pain and potential systemic infection.
If you have a young pet, expose it to dental care at an early age! Brushing teeth every day to every other day will make a tremendous difference. There are a few options for dental care:
Tooth Brush Kit with beef or poultry flavored pet tooth paste
CET Rinse: Daily oral rinse
Aquadent: Daily water supplement
CET Chews: Enzyme-coated chews
Feline: Pre-dental - moderate to severe tartar on all teeth; severe gum recession on upper canine teeth

Feline: post-dental - teeth have been scaled and polished, both upper & lower canine teeth required extraction
Canine: Pre-dental - severe tartar build-up on all teeth

Canine: Post-dental - teeth cleaned up VERY nicely!
