Well, VCA has decided to close the doors at VCA Highlands Ranch Animal Specialty & Emergency Center on March 31st! We now have a homeless dental team of 2 highly qualified dental specialty RVTs and a Boarded Veterinary Dentist. It hasn't hit us yet but we will probably be in tears by the end of the month. We are booked solid until then, trying to get everyone's pet in!!

Just as you brush your own teeth daily, incorporating brushing into your pet's routine can significantly reduce the risk of dental disease. Additionally, we recommend using pet-safe toothpaste, as human toothpaste can be toxic to animals.

Dental disease isn't solely confined to the teeth and gums; it extends to the overall health of your pet. The formation of plaque, a sticky bacterial film, on the teeth can lead to tartar buildup, gum irritation, and subsequent bacterial proliferation. Eventually, this can result in periodontal disease, characterized by gum recession, tooth mobility, and potential systemic health complications if left untreated.

Being vigilant about monitoring your pet's teeth and gums for any signs of trouble is paramount. Red, inflamed gums or discoloration on the teeth are indicators that a dental check-up with your veterinarian is in order.
