Healthy Teeth, Happy Pets
Dental health is a crucial aspect of your pet’s overall well-being. At Animal Care at Rishon LeTziyon, we provide expert dental care to prevent pain, infections, and long-term health complications caused by poor oral hygiene.
Why Pet Dental Care Is Essential
Dental issues are more than just bad breath or dirty teeth—they can lead to severe health problems that affect your pet’s quality of life. Here’s why dental care is so important:
- Prevent Gum Disease and Tooth Loss: Tartar buildup leads to gum inflammation (gingivitis), exposing the tooth root and causing pain. Without treatment, this can lead to broken teeth or even jaw fractures, particularly in small breeds like Yorkshire Terriers, Chihuahuas, and Toy Poodles.
- Protect Vital Organs: Oral bacteria can enter the bloodstream and affect critical organs like the kidneys, stomach, and heart, potentially causing long-term damage.
- Avoid Chronic Pain: Dental disease causes persistent pain, making it difficult for your pet to eat and enjoy life.
Common Dental Issues
- Tartar and Plaque Buildup: A common problem, especially in small breeds, starting as early as 1.5–2 years of age.
- Stomatitis: Severe inflammation of the gums, often leading to infection and complications.
- Secondary Health Problems: Poor dental health can exacerbate gastrointestinal issues, affect acid levels in the stomach, and even contribute to heart disease.
Dental Care Recommendations
Routine Professional Cleaning:
- We recommend dental cleanings every six months, particularly for small breeds prone to tartar buildup.
Daily Home Care:
