Proper dental care can detect dental
disease that not only affects the mouth, but can also lead to more serious
health problems such as heart, lung, and kidney disease. Good dental hygiene is
just as important for pets as it is for humans. Yet, it is one of the most
overlooked areas in pet health.
Studies by the American Animal Hospital
Association (AAHA) reveal that nearly two-thirds of pet owners do not
provide the dental care recommended by veterinarians. AAHA’s Dental Care
Guidelines for Dogs and Cats are a working framework for small animal dentistry
practice, including dental examinations, cleanings, and surgical procedures.
