Dentistry

Animals need dental care just like people, and dental problems are the number one issue that we see in pets. After every meal, a layer of invisible plaque develops on teeth, which in time hardens into calculus. Calculus is the yellow/brown staining that you can often see on affected teeth. This provides an ideal environment for bacteria to grow which can loosen the ligament holding the teeth in place, leading to loss of teeth. The bacterial infection around the teeth can also spread around the blood stream and affect heart and liver health.
