Proper dental care is critical to a long and healthy life for both dogs and cats. Heavy plaque
and tartar build-up on teeth negatively affects many body organs including the heart, liver, and kidneys. During examinations, the doctors will make recommendations for dental care. There are home dental care products available varying from chews and special foods to rinses and water additives to toothbrushes and special toothpaste. Periodic dental cleanings are performed to improve and maintain the health of the teeth, gums, and body organs.
