Teeth would rot and decay; gums would become inflamed and infected. Bacteria from those rotting teeth would eventually travel into your bloodstream and could cause other serious health problems like heart, kidney, and liver disease. And we haven’t even mentioned the daily, debilitating pain.
It’s the same scenario for your dog or cat. While some people might laugh at the idea of brushing their pet’s teeth or taking them for a dental cleaning, the truth is that by age three, 80% of dogs and 70% of cats have some evidence of periodontal disease.
At Norway Veterinary Hospital, we offer professional ultrasonic cleaning, scaling, polishing and fluoride treatments. We also strongly recommend preventative measures like teeth brushing (using special enzymatic toothpaste), oral rinsing, and special tartar-preventing diets.
Our other oral services include:
- X-Rays
- Tooth extractions
- Minor oral surgery
Periodic dental exams help maintain proper oral hygiene and prevent future problems, especially if you have a pet who won’t tolerate brushing. Interested in learning how to brush your pet’s teeth? Call us at (207) 743-6384 and our veterinarians will be happy to help you get started!
