Oral health is a very important component to a pet’s overall health, but sadly, it’s also one of the most neglected. Angel Animal Hospital in Pasadena wants to help you be proactive about your pet dental care to prevent oral infections like gum disease. Gum disease in its most advanced stage can lead to many other problems if left untreated, including heart, liver, and kidney disease. The good news is that gum disease can be prevented. That’s why we recommend that you bring your pet in for a comprehensive wellness exam at least once a year so we can examine his/her mouth. If we detect any signs that are associated with gum disease, we may recommend a dental cleaning, along with at-home dental products for preventive care. Get started today by calling us at (713) 944-2424 or make an appointment online.

Common Signs of Dog and Cat Dental Problems

As a “pet parent,” it’s important to know what signs to look for in your pet to determine if a dental cleaning is needed. While our veterinarians and technicians can confirm this information, it will benefit your pet to become familiar with these signs ahead of time, before your pet’s exam. Below is a list of some of the most common signs that are associated with dental disease.

  • Bad breath
  • Loose, broken, or discolored teeth
  • Redness or irritation of the gums
  • Pain or sensitivity while eating
  • Brownish tartar buildup along gum line

If you’ve noticed any of these signs in your pet, it’s time to schedule a dental exam by calling 713-944-2424 or make an appointment online. The sooner we can catch any early signs of gum disease, the sooner we can treat them, and the greater our chances of success are.
