About This Service
Comprehensive pet dental care for dogs and cats near Laguna Hills, Mission Viejo, and Aliso Viejo. February is National Pet Dental Health Month!
Dental health is a very important part of your pet's overall health, and dental problems can cause, or be caused by, other health problems. Periodontal disease is the most common dental condition in dogs and cats - by age 3, your pet will very likely have early evidence of periodontal disease. It starts with plaque that hardens into tartar. Tartar above the gumline can be seen and removed, but plaque and tartar below the gumline sets the stage for infection and damage to the jawbone. Other health problems found in association with periodontal disease include kidney, liver, and heart muscle changes.
