Regular dental checkups and cleanings are essential for the health and well-being of your cat or dog. Just like humans, animals can suffer from dental problems if their teeth are not properly cared for. These problems can include tooth decay, gum disease, and even oral cancer.

One of the main reasons for regular dental checkups is to prevent the buildup of plaque and tartar on your pet's teeth. Plaque is a film of bacteria that forms on the teeth and can eventually harden into tartar. If not removed, plaque and tartar can lead to inflammation of the gums (gingivitis) and eventually to periodontal disease. Periodontal disease is a serious condition that can cause tooth loss and lead to other health problems such as heart disease, kidney disease and lung infections.

Another important reason for regular dental checkups is to identify and treat any dental problems that may be present. This can include broken or cracked teeth, abscesses, and tumours. Early identification and treatment of these problems can help prevent them from becoming more serious and can help to ensure that your pet remains healthy.

In addition to regular checkups, it is also important to provide your pet with proper dental care at home. This can include daily brushing of their teeth, the use of dental chews and toys, and providing a diet that is formulated to promote dental health.

It's important to note that dental issues in pets can be very painful and, left untreated, can lead to chronic pain, difficulty eating, and other health problems. Regular dental checkups and cleanings can help prevent or treat these issues, keeping your pet comfortable and healthy.

In summary, having annual dental checkups and teeth cleanings for your cat or dog is important for their health and well-being. It helps prevent plaque and tartar buildup, identify and treat dental problems, and keep your pet comfortable and healthy. In addition to regular checkups, it's also essential to provide proper dental care at home by brushing teeth, using dental chews, and providing a diet that promotes dental health.
