Fur babies need dental care, too!
Dental care isn’t just for people. In fact, it’s just as important for dogs and cats as it is for humans. Without regular cleanings and examinations, most pets suffer from some form of periodontal disease by the time they are three years old. And when left untreated, even minor dental diseases can lead to infections and other serious health complications. Here at Midlands Veterinary Practice, we provide comprehensive pet dental care in Columbia areas, and are here to keep your furry friend’s teeth and gums in good condition. From cleanings and exams to extractions, we do it all!
You wouldn’t dream of going your entire life without seeing a dentist, so why wouldn’t you take your pet to the vet for dental care? If your pet doesn’t receive appropriate dental services, they will likely develop problems like bad breath and tooth discoloration. And while these issues seem minor, they often lead to more severe issues when not addressed.
Your pet could experience pain, difficulty eating, and infections as a result of poor dental health. Infections originating in the mouth can enter the bloodstream, too, and travel to other parts of your pet’s body. They can cause heart, liver, and kidney disease and even lead to premature death.
If your pet is suffering from a toothache and requires dental care in the Columbia, Lexington, Irmo, or Chapin areas, trust in the dental team at Midlands Veterinary Practice. Our highly skilled team enjoys tackling tough dental cases and removing the source of your beloved companion’s pain and infection, leaving your pal with a pearly-white smile.
