Summer Dental Care and Bad Breath

If your dog’s breath has gotten noticeably worse this summer, it may be more than just a nuisance. Bad breath is often one of the first signs of dental disease. As plaque and tartar build up on teeth, bacteria multiply and can lead to inflamed gums, infection, tooth loss, and ongoing pain. Left untreated, those bacteria can enter the bloodstream and affect major organs, including the heart, kidneys, and liver.

Professional dental cleanings remove tartar and bacteria from areas that brushing at home simply can’t reach. Regular dental care helps protect your pet’s overall health, improves comfort, and can even help them stay active and eat more comfortably. Osborne Animal Clinic provides dental cleanings, extractions, and treatment for gingivitis, periodontal disease, and other oral health concerns.

Watch for signs such as: • Bad breath • Red or bleeding gums • Difficulty chewing • Loose or broken teeth • Dropping food while eating • Changes in appetite

Summer is a great time to take care of your pet’s dental health before small problems become larger ones. Call Osborne Animal Clinic at 256-353-4339 to schedule a dental evaluation.

We are accepting new patients and walk-ins. Learn more at www.osborneanimalclinic.com.
