Does Your Pet Have Bad Breath or Dental Problems?
Persistent bad breath is usually the first sign of dental disease. Most dogs and cats over three years old already have some gum disease. We treat it before it causes pain, tooth loss, or damage to other organs.
Common Symptoms
- Persistent bad breath
- Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
- Yellow-brown tartar on the teeth
- Drooling or dropping food while eating
- Chewing on one side or pawing at the mouth
- Loose, broken, or discolored teeth
What We Do
- Full oral examination
- Dental X-rays to assess tooth roots
- Scaling and polishing under anesthesia
- Extraction of damaged or infected teeth
- Pain relief and antibiotics when needed
- Home dental care plan for your pet
When to See a Vet
If your pet stops eating, has facial swelling, bleeds from the mouth, or seems in pain, call our 24/7 emergency line on +853 6677 6611 now. For bad breath, tartar, or red gums, book a dental check soon. Untreated dental disease can spread bacteria to the heart, liver, and kidneys.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is bad breath normal in dogs and cats?
A: No. Persistent bad breath usually means plaque, gum disease, or infection. A dental exam will find the cause before it becomes painful.
Q: Does my pet need anesthesia for a dental cleaning?
A: Yes. Anesthesia lets us clean safely below the gum line and take dental X-rays. We run pre-anesthetic blood tests and monitor your pet throughout.
Q: What can I do at home to prevent dental disease?
A: Daily brushing with a pet toothpaste works best, and dental chews or dental diets help too. Never use human toothpaste, as it can contain ingredients toxic to pets.
