Dental Care

If you love your pet’s big, beautiful smile but hate his or her stinky breath, a trip to the dentist may be in order. Bad breath is not normal, and it could be a sign of a serious dental problem. Dental care is extremely important for animals, but it is often overlooked. At Animal Medical Center of Emmett, we offer the expert animal dental services you need to give your feline or canine companion a healthy, happy smile.

Pets need annual dental cleanings and checkups just like we do. Plaque and tartar builds up on the teeth and can lead to tooth decay and gum disease. When left untreated, these problems can cause your pet a lot of pain and lead to infections that can spread throughout the body. In time, poor oral health can have an impact on your pet’s entire life. It can lead to a decreased appetite, depression, aggression, and behavioral changes. Having your cat or dog’s teeth cleaned and examined is the best way to avoid these problems.
