Pet Dental Care
Gum Disease
Even though pets do not get cavities as often as people, they can still have many of the same dental issues. These include broken teeth, infections, gum disease, and problems with how their teeth fit together. Some pets may also have jaw injuries or be born with defects like cleft palate.
The most common dental issue in pets is gum disease. By the time most dogs and cats are 3 years old, they already have early signs of this condition. If not treated, it can get worse and cause serious pain and health problems. Gum disease does not just affect the mouth. It can also lead to changes in the kidneys, liver, and heart.
Gum disease starts with soft plaque on the teeth. This hardens into tartar. Tartar above the gumline is easy to see and remove. But tartar below the gumline is more dangerous. It can cause infections and damage the jaw and tooth roots.
To treat gum disease, pets need a deep dental cleaning. X-rays may also be needed to see how bad the problem is. Our vets will check your pet’s overall health and suggest the best treatment options. We are one of the first clinics specializing in Pet dental care in Tbilisi.
