Understanding Dental Disease & Your Pet
Dental diseases are one of the leading diseases afflicting cats and dogs. Because dental disease can go unnoticed until it is quite severe, it is important to make sure that your pet’s mouth and teeth are regularly examined to prevent the spread of this disease. Known as periodontal disease, this affliction can cause more serious health problems when left untreated.
Keep an eye out for these symptoms of periodontal disease in your pet:
- Unusually bad or smelly breath
- Blood in your pet’s saliva or water dish
- Difficulty or avoiding eating
- Loss of appetite
- Excessive drooling
- Loose or missing teeth
Any of the symptoms above can indicate that your pet could be suffering from periodontal disease. If you notice any combination of the symptoms listed above, call your veterinarian immediately. With early intervention, periodontal disease is very easily treatable.

Periodontal disease in pets is very similar to that found in humans; it involves a build-up of plaque on the teeth. But, unlike humans, pets generally do not brush their own teeth. This means that the build-up of plaque continues to grow without intervention, hardening and moving below the gum line, where it can begin to cause problems such as infection, loose teeth, pain, and – in severe cases – damage to the jaw bones.
With our help, your pet can avoid these conditions with proper, ongoing dental care. We will help you learn how best to care for your pet’s teeth at home. If your pet needs professional veterinary dental cleaning, generally performed under anesthesia, our team is well-equipped to ensure that your pet’s teeth are sparkling clean. At Monterey Animal Clinic, our goal is to protect your pet’s health.
If you have questions about dental care for your pet, please call our team today at (772) 247-3280 or contact us online.
