Home Gum disease affects a large number of cats and dogs, and can be seen in pets as young as 3 years old. Gum disease occurs when plaque and tartar harden into calculus that spreads below the gum line, causing damage to the teeth, gums, and bone. In a worst-case scenario, the bacteria from the calculus can enter the bloodstream and affect your pet’s internal organs. Symptoms of gum disease include:
  • Bad breath
  • Red, inflamed gums
  • Loose or broken teeth
  • Excessive salivation
  • Difficulty eating/chewing
  • Swelling around the face
  • Pawing at the mouth
  • Altered behavior
Gum disease can easily be prevented with proper dental care and yearly cleanings. Brushing your pet’s teeth at home twice daily is ideal, and you should start the process as early in their life as possible. We would be glad to help you if you’re having any trouble, and can recommend other oral care products to supplement their dental routine.

If your canine or feline family member is showing early or moderate signs of gum disease, contact our veterinarian at (703) 273-2110 so we can halt its progress and provide your loved one with the clean, healthy mouth they deserve.
