We believe dental cleaning and oral care are a very important part of the overall health care of your pet. Rocky Mountain Small Animal Hospital takes this seriously and will provide the best care possible for your pet’s mouth.
What are the Benefits of Pet Dental Care?
You may have heard that it is possible to add years to your pet’s life with proper dental care. True, but you also increase his or her health, vitality and wellbeing. Proper dental care helps ensure your pet leads the best life possible.
Fifty percent of all pets need dental care at any given time. If left untreated, dental disease can not only be painful and inhibit proper nutrition, but it can also lead to serious systemic issues that may threaten your pet’s health before symptoms are noticeable. For example, oral bacteria that enter the bloodstream can damage your pet’s kidneys, heart or liver.
Because of this, we take the oral and dental health of your cat or dog very seriously and believe that dental care is an important piece of your pet’s preventative care. We regularly send our doctors for continuing education with a board certified veterinary dentist so that our skill sets are based on the latest innovations and techniques in veterinary care.
