Persistent Malocclusion Malalignment Malposition of Teeth

Understanding Dental Issues in Pets

Dental problems in pets, such as persistent malocclusion, malalignment, and malposition of teeth, can lead to serious health issues if left untreated. These conditions can affect not only the oral health of animals but also their overall well-being. Owners should be aware of the signs and symptoms that indicate dental distress in their pets.

Common indicators of dental issues include bad breath, difficulty eating, and visible discomfort when chewing. Regular dental check-ups at Pine Animal Hospital & Integrative Wellness Center can help identify these problems early, ensuring that pets receive the necessary care before complications arise.

Preventive Care for Dental Health

Preventive care is crucial in maintaining your pet's dental health. Regular cleanings and examinations can help prevent the development of serious dental conditions. At Pine Animal Hospital & Integrative Wellness Center, we emphasize the importance of routine dental care to keep your pet's teeth and gums healthy.

Incorporating dental hygiene practices at home, such as brushing your pet's teeth and providing dental treats, can significantly contribute to their oral health. Our team can guide you on effective techniques and products to use for your specific pet's needs.
