Does your pet have bad breath? Has he been pawing at his mouth a lot lately? Does she seem to not have much of an appetite?

Gum Disease Symptoms in Dogs and Cats

Ideally, you should bring your pet in for a wellness exam at least once a year. These exams allow our veterinarian in Orlando, FL, to determine if a more extensive pet dental exam and cleaning is necessary. Although only a licensed veterinarian can give an accurate, official diagnosis of gum disease, the following are some signs you can look for at home:

  • Chronic bad breath
  • Drooling or dropping food from the mouth
  • Loose or discolored teeth
  • Bleeding from the mouth
  • Excessive tartar buildup
  • Loss of appetite or weight loss
  • Pawing at the mouth (which could indicate pain)

At-Home Pet Dental Care in Orlando, FL

Professional dental care is one of the best ways to keep your pet’s mouth healthy, but YOU play a critical role in his/her maintenance plan as well. It’s best to brush your pet’s teeth from home on a regular basis (daily or every few days). Our animal hospital in Orlando, FL, also recommends toys and treats that are designed to prevent tartar buildup. We can give you our product recommendations as well as some tips on brushing during your pet’s next exam visit.
