The Hidden Risks of Pet Dental Disease & How to Spot It

Dental disease is one of the most common health issues in cats and dogs, affecting up to 90% of all pets by age 3, yet it often goes unnoticed until it’s advanced. Signs such as bad breath, red or swollen gums, yellow-brown tartar, or a reluctance to chew can all signal oral pain. Left untreated, dental problems can lead to tooth loss, infections, and even impact vital organs like the heart and kidneys.
 
The good news? Most dental disease is preventable. Regular checkups, at-home brushing, and professional cleanings all work together to keep your pet’s mouth healthy and pain-free.
