When to Seek Dental Care for Your Pet
Recognizing when to seek dental care for your pet is crucial for maintaining their overall health. Persistent bad breath is often the first sign that something might be wrong. If you notice your pet drooling excessively, having difficulty eating, or dropping food, these could be indicators of dental discomfort. A sudden loss of appetite, facial swelling, or signs of pain when touched around the mouth are also red flags. Additionally, if your pet is pawing at their mouth, it might be due to oral pain. Visually inspecting your pet’s mouth can reveal yellow, broken, loose, or missing teeth, as well as red, swollen, or bleeding gums, all of which are signs of dental issues. Early detection and treatment of these symptoms can prevent more serious health problems and ensure your pet remains healthy and happy. If you observe any of these symptoms, it’s essential to schedule a dental exam with a veterinarian promptly.
