DENTAL AWARENESS MONTH - PREVENTION!
🦷 What’s the best dental prevention plan for your pet? Let’s find out what works best for you and your furry friend! 🐾
From regular checkups to daily habits, here are the top ways to keep those pearly whites healthy:
🩺 Regular Dental Procedures: Professional dental care is an important part of keeping your pet’s teeth healthy. This includes a general anaesthetic, thorough examination, dental X-rays, and a professional scale and polish with us. How often your pet needs a dental procedure will depend on their individual dental health.
🪥 Daily Teeth Brushing: The gold standard for at-home prevention! Use a pet toothbrush or a very soft-bristled brush daily to remove plaque built up from bacteria, food debris and saliva.
⚠️ Pro-Tip: Use flavoured “pet toothpaste” to make it fun. DO NOT USE HUMAN TOOTHPASTE — it isn’t designed to be swallowed by pets and some ingredients can be harmful!
🍩 Dental Diets and Treats: Specially designed dental diets encourage your pet to actually chew, using the size, shape and texture of the biscuit to help wipe away plaque. The same goes for dental treats — their unique shapes and textures help clean your pet’s teeth as they chew.
💧 Powder & Liquid Additives: Some dental powders and water additives can provide extra support in reducing plaque formation. These are best used alongside other dental prevention methods rather than on their own.
📅 6-Month FREE Dental Checks: Bring your pet in every 6 months for a free dental health check so we can keep track of exactly how their teeth are looking! These complimentary checks are specifically for assessing your pet’s dental health. If you have any other health concerns you’d like the vet to assess during the visit, a standard consultation fee will apply.
