Many pets go through life with oral pain and discomfort due to malocclusion, crowding and tooth rotation. In addition to these conditions, small pets (under 20 lbs) historically develop inflammation and bone loss by the age of 1 ½ years. As such, proactive oral care versus later reactive treatment will help pets live a happier and, most likely, a more pain-free life.
In this segment veterinary dentistry expert, Dr. Barden Greenfield, discusses:
- Juvenile and young adult pathology that is often overlooked and needs treatment
- Stages of periodontal disease and how Stage I can be reversed
- How a clean and pain-free mouth translates to a happy pet and pet owner ... and potentially a longer life
