Poor dental health can cause a number of issues for your pet throughout their life. Here are a few of the major ones you’re likely to encounter:
Smelly breath – You’ll definitely know about this pretty quickly! Bad breath in your pet is often a sign that something isn’t right in their mouth, so if you can catch this early, you’ll be doing them a big favour.
Yellow teeth/plaque – The build-up of plaque and tartar on your pet’s teeth can be the precursor to real dental damage. Getting plaque build-up removed regularly is important for long-term dental health.
Decay/rotten teeth – If dental problems have advanced to a serious stage, your dog may have cavities or even loose teeth. Just like in humans, these can cause your pet pain as well as present a serious hygiene issue. Affected teeth may need to be removed.
