Poor dental health in pets can lead to: 

• Bad breath 
• Infection 
• Pain 

If left untreated, these issues can escalate, leading to the need for costly treatments and tooth extractions.  

Recognising dental disease in pets 

Potential signs include: 

• Bad breath 
• Discoloured/dirty looking teeth 
• Dogs chewing rocks or wood 
• Anxious dogs chewing on things excessively 
• Rubbing or pawing at the mouth 
• Sudden or excessive chewing or salivation 
• Fussy eating habits 
• Teeth chattering  

Cats with dental disease can be particularly challenging to diagnose and can continue to eat even with significant dental pain.
