PET BRIGHT SMILES

Dental disease is extremely common in pet animals, especially as they get older. Signs include:

  • Heavy tartar deposits
  • Loose, broken or diseased teeth
  • Inflamed gums
  • Smelly Breath 

All the above are painful and unpleasant for the animal concerned AND to add insult to injury the resulting bad breath can be very unpleasant for the owner, with avoidance of close contact adding to the suffering endured.

Unfortunately, animals often adapt and cope with the discomfort and/or pain of dental disease and may not show obvious signs but anyone who has experienced toothache or the annoyance of a loose tooth can easily relate to what their pet is experiencing.

And as if the above is not bad enough, the effects of dental disease can go way beyond the mouth of your pet. Bacteria and toxins originating in the mouth have easy access to the bloodstream and can cause problems as far away as the liver, kidneys or even heart valves.

However it’s not all doom and gloom…..Help is at hand…

Following on from the success of previous campaigns we will be relaunching our PET BRIGHT SMILES campaign soon.... watch this space for further details!

Through our special rate dental check consultations, we will identify any problems, give advice on dental care and recommend necessary treatments or procedures.
