Dental Care
Your pet’s dental health is one of the most important parts of their overall health and well-being. Dogs and cats use their teeth for so many things: playing, eating, and protecting themselves, too. As such, they require dental care that keeps their teeth and gums healthy and pain-free — and counteracts bad breath! At Ashton Animal Clinic, we offer safe, effective dog and cat teeth cleaning that helps prevent dental disease and other dental problems.
Be proactive with your pet's dental care!
Problems with Pet Dental Disease
Dental disease (or periodontal disease) is the most common disease in dogs and cats, and it affects more than your pet’s mouth. With painful gums or loose, damaged teeth, pets can’t be their best selves. They cannot hold their favorite toys in their mouths or eat without pain, which affects their quality of life and your relationship with them, too. Additionally, if left untreated, cats and dogs with dental disease are more predisposed to heart, liver, and kidney disease. Early stages of disease are reversible with professional care, but later stages will require extractions or other costly, painful oral surgeries.
Yet, you can avoid the pain and cost of dental disease with preventive measures! Call us today at (707) 462-8833. We can show you how.
