Importance of Pet Dental Care
At Midland Animal Hospital, we offer comprehensive pet dentistry services to keep your pet’s teeth and gums healthy.
Dental care is often overlooked but is crucial for your pet’s overall health. The mouth is the gateway to the body, and dental issues can lead to pain and inflammation, affecting your pet’s ability to eat and potentially causing problems in distant organs.
Chronic inflammation can also lead to serious diseases such as heart, liver, and kidney disease. Routine dental care, including professional cleanings and home brushing, is essential for optimal dental health and can contribute to a longer, healthier life for your pet.
