Dental Care

Keep your pet’s mouth fresh and clean

Despite what many pet parents think, bad breath is not normal for animals.

While your pet’s breath may never smell minty fresh, it shouldn’t have an overly unpleasant, foul odor, either. Stinky breath is usually a symptom of periodontal disease, which, when left untreated, can lead to severe complications. From tooth loss, pain, and difficulty eating to systemic infections and organ damage, periodontal disease causes many problems for pets.

At Saltwater Animal Hospital, we provide pet dental care in Des Moines to help keep your pet’s mouth clean, fresh, and disease-free. From cleanings and exams to tooth extractions, we perform the dental services needed to keep your pet’s gums and teeth in good condition.

Why Dental Care Is Important

Dental care is just as essential for pets as it is for humans.

Unfortunately, many pet parents neglect this aspect of wellness care because they aren’t familiar with the potential consequences. Without routine dental exams and cleanings, most companions animals develop tooth and/or gum disease by the time they are three years old. Depending on its severity, tooth or gum disease can lead to pain, difficulty eating, kidney disease, heart disease, and more.
