Pet Owners
Warning Signs of Dental Disease
- Bad breath – one of the first signs of dental disease.
- A yellowish-brown crust of plaque on the teeth near the gum line.
- Red and swollen gums.
- Pain or bleeding when your pet eats or when the mouth or gums are touched.
- Decreased appetite or difficulty eating.
- Loose or missing teeth.
If your pet displays any of these signs, serious periodontal disease may be present.
NOTE: Your pet does not need to show any of these signs to be suffering from dental disease.
