Pet Dental Care
It's important to maintain your pet's oral hygiene to ensure their teeth remain strong and healthy. There are certain signs you should know to look out for which should be cause for concern. Whether you choose to take your pet in for emergency dental care, or a routine annual exam with dental care, there's no better way to prepare for your dog than by making them comfortable and keeping their teeth healthy. At Parkway Animal Hospital, we want to help your cat or dog get the best pet dental care and other pet care services they need. If you live in Grand Prairie, TX, stop by to see how we can help your pet keep their teeth healthy and continue to eat and drink without pain.
Why Do I Need Pet Dental Care?
You will want to get the best pet dental care possible for any of your cats or dogs. Your pet needs to undergo a dental exam along with your pet's physical exam every year. You should bring your pet in for emergency dental care if you notice:
- Blood in their drool
- Blood on their toys
- Blood in their food bowl
- Inability to chew
- Increased aggression
- Decreased appetite
- Swollen face
- Yelping
- Fever
- Foul breath
- Visible missing teeth
How Will a Veterinarian Help
Our veterinarian will be able to treat any infections your pet might have using medications to keep the infection at bay. Our veterinarian will also determine whether or not your pet needs additional dental care, especially if they have diseases such as:
- Periodontal disease
- Gum disease
- Teeth discoloration
- Bleeding Gums
- Tooth decay
- Bacterial plaque
Once our veterinarian determines that your pet does have a dental issue, they will recommend brushing your pet's teeth regularly, changing the diet (they might need soft food for a while), and certain medications such as non-steroidal inflammatory drugs to help ease the pain from dental issues.
Afterward, it will be your responsibility to follow up with your pet's care and keep their teeth healthy.
