Pet Dental Care with Our Canton Veterinarian!

Proper pet dental care is a key component to the health and longevity of your animal companion. Our veterinarian in Canton, Dr. Joseph Gainey, along with his staff at Belpar Pet Care Centre, provides high-quality, comprehensive, and affordable veterinary dental services in a caring and professional environment. 

Top 3 Reasons Why Pet Dental Care So Important

1. Healthy mouth, healthy animal. Believe it or not, the health and integrity of your pet's mouth, teeth, and gums has a significant influence on your animal's overall well-being. A healthy mouth can even increase your pet's lifespan, with researching showing that regular teeth cleaning can increase an animal's lifespan by two years or more! This is because routine dental care prevents plaque build-up and tooth decay, both of which can introduce bacteria and other substances into your animal's body which could potentially cause harm. 

2. Protect your dog or cat from unpleasant symptoms. Problems with pet dental health--such as broken or missing teeth, infected teeth, broken jaws, periodontal disease, and oral cysts and tumors--can cause a variety of unpleasant signs and symptoms in your dog or cat, including:

• Pain, swelling, and tenderness in and around the mouth

• Bad breath

• Difficulty chewing and swallowing food (you may observe your pet to eat food only on one side of the mouth, or frequently drop food)

• Malnutrition

• Weight loss

3. Prevention, early detection, and better treatment. Pet dental care helps prevent issues from occurring in the first place, and can help ensure earlier treatment if your veterinarian detects a problem, improving outcomes for your pet. Regular pet dental exams by our Canton veterinarian can also alert you to other underlying medical problems which often cause or are associated with dental issues.
