Dentistry

Oral disease is a common health problem affecting 75% of dogs and cats over the age of three. Left untreated, oral disease can lead to:

• Bad breath
• Pain
• Tooth decay or loss
• Metabolic disease (kidney and liver problems)

Good dental health improves your pet’s well-being, and can add years to your pet's life.

Common signs of oral disease:

• Bad breath
• Tartar and Calculus (yellow-brown discoloration on tooth)
• Difficulty eating
• Loss of appetite
• Increased drooling
• Pawing at the mouth
• Loose or missing teeth
• Gingivitis (red, swollen, or bleeding gums)

Is your pet showing signs of dental disease? Ask our Dental Department for more information on how we can help you improve your pet’s dental health. Call 303.366.2639 and ask the receptionist to put you through to the dental line.
