Comprehensive Pet Dental Care In Brooklyn and Tribeca

Dental care is an important aspect of your dog and cat’s health care routine. Bringing your pet to us for an annual dental exam and professional cleaning when needed can keep them healthier, happier and pain free longer. Without dental care, bacteria and plaque build up on your pet’s teeth, hardening into tartar, causing gingivitis, receding gums and tooth loss. Worse, untreated dental disease leads to pain, infection and potential infection to other organ systems.

Both dogs and cats both need routine preventative dental care. We offer advice on home dental care and give you options on how to achieve the best results. Ask us how we can assist you in providing dental care for your pet.

At Home Pet Dental Care

Brushing your pet’s teeth every day can help reduce or eliminate plaque buildup. Plaque, which is an accumulation of bacteria, will progress to periodontitis, which is characterized by pockets of chronic infection, oral pain, and severe infections. Left untreated, it will eventually loosen and destroy the tooth and possibly lead to bone loss. The infection under the gum line can also spread to the liver, kidneys and heart.

How is your pet’s breath?

Bad breath in pets can indicate underlying health issues, particularly dental disease, such as plaque buildup, gingivitis, or tooth decay. It can also be a sign of gastrointestinal problems, like digestive disorders or an improper diet, as well as more serious conditions like kidney disease (marked by an ammonia-like odor), liver disease (sweet or musty breath), respiratory infections, or diabetes (fruity breath). If your pet has persistent bad breath, it’s important to consult a veterinarian to rule out serious conditions and ensure proper treatment.
