Local Medical Issues 

Routine preventive home dental care is essential to the health of every pet. Good preventive care will not only help to give your pet better breath, it can also decrease the risk of heart, liver and kidney disease. Preventive care will also minimize the severity of plaque formation, gingivitis and periodontitis, and the pain and tooth loss that can accompany it. There are many options to choose from to use as preventive home care. A combination of brushing, a dental diet designed for preventive care, dental sealants and dental vaccines are the best preventive care for your pet.
