Dental Care

Does your pet’s breath leave much to be desired?

Contrary to popular belief, stinky breath isn’t something that pet parents must simply learn to live with. In fact, it’s probably a sign that your animal companion could use a visit the dentist.

Without adequate care, your pet’s mouth can become a haven for bacteria, which can spread through the bloodstream and cause a number of other health problems. Left untreated, dental disease can even shorten your loved one’s life.

Thankfully, with the right support, this can all be prevented.

The professional dentistry services at Riverchase Animal Hospital include both routine, preventative care as well as advanced treatment for existing oral conditions for pets in the Coppell, Texas area.

Some of the signs of dental disease in companion animals include, but are not limited to:

  • Bad breath
  • Excessive drooling
  • Dropping food
  • Sudden disinterest in chew toys
  • Loss of appetite
  • Swollen or painful face
  • Pawing at the mouth
  • Yellow, broken, loose or missing teeth
  • Gums that are red, swollen or bleeding

If your pet is showing any of these signs, it’s time to book a dental appointment. We’ll identify the problem and address it quickly, improving the prognosis for your loved one. We’ll also show you techniques you can use to help keep your pet’s teeth and gums healthy and disease-free year-round.
