Smelly Breath
Dental disease is one of the most common disease in dogs, cats and rabbits. Unfortunately this painful and debilitating condition still goes largely untreated. If your pet has smelly breath then read on, the smell is just the tip of the iceberg.
Pain, Illness and Heart Failure
The tartar which builds up on your pets teeth is full of harmful bacteria. These bacteria cause the bad breath but worse than that They often invade the gums which can result in abscess and loss of teeth. Because our pets rarely stop eating even with severe dental pain it is estimated by authorities in the field that two pets out of three suffers from dental disease while their owners are blissfully ignorant of their plight. Bacteria may also release toxins which affect organs such as the kidneys, liver and the heart. Any of these conditions can ultimately cause diseases and result in a premature death.
Benefits of Dental Treatment
Regular dental care will give your pet the quality of life it deserves with:
- Decreased pain
