Dentistry

Is your pet’s breath less than fresh?

Contrary to popular belief, bad-smelling breath isn’t something that pet owners simply must learn to live with. In fact, it’s probably a sign that your companion needs to visit the dentist. 

Without proper care, your pet’s mouth can become a haven for bacteria, which can spread through the bloodstream and cause a number of other health problems. Left untreated, dental disease can even shorten your pet’s life. 

The good news is, with the right support, prevention is possible.

The professional dentistry services at Aloha Animal Hospital include both routine, preventative care as well as advanced treatment for existing oral conditions. 

Some of the signs of dental disease in pets include, but are not limited to:

• Bad breath
• Excessive drooling
• Dropping food 
• Sudden disinterest in chew toys
• Loss of appetite
• Swollen or painful face
• Pawing at the mouth
• Yellow, broken, loose or missing teeth
• Gums that are red, swollen or bleeding

If you happen to notice any of these signs, it’s time to schedule an appointment. We can identify the problem and address it quickly, improving the prognosis for your loved one. We’ll also show you how you can help keep your pet’s teeth and gums healthy and disease-free year-round.
