February is National Pet Dental Month, and you might ask yourself, Really? How many "national" months do we really need?  And how much do I really need to worry about my pet's teeth?  Most of us have a hard enough time caring for our own teeth, let alone our dogs and cats.  But in reality, our pet's dental health is important, for the very same reasons that is important for us to brush, floss, and see our Dentist regularly. A shocking 90% of patients that we see on a daily basis suffer from some form or degree of oral disease.  Poor dental hygiene can lead to bad breath, infection, and loss of teeth, making it harder to eat, and generally not feeling well.  Routine cleanings, coupled with basic home health care, can help remove or eliminate tartar build up that contributes to more severe dental and health issues, that affect our pets overall health.  Let us help keep your pets healthy, by scheduling your dental evaluation during the month of February, or any other month-we'll do our best to keep you smiling!
