Veterinary Dentistry:

In the 1980s, a torrent of interest and awareness in veterinary dentistry sprung up around the globe. Prior to that time, very few veterinary facilities and centers in the United States and Europe practiced veterinary dentistry to a reasonably high standard. Eventually, private practitioners promoted the growth of animal dental services by developing continuing education classes for colleagues, promoting the importance pets' oral health. As the number of private practitioners devoting time exclusively to this specialty grew, veterinary schools followed suit by introducing veterinary dentistry into their curricula. Today, comprehensive dental service is provided for pets by private animal hospitals and teaching hospitals across the world. The range of dental diseases in cats and dogs is broad and diverse. Yellowing teeth and bad breath are two of the most common initial signs of poor dental hygiene in an animal. If left untreated, these easily disregarded symptoms may develop into gingivitis or periodontal disease. Ignoring a pet’s dental health can also lead to liver, kidney, or heart disease. Like all diseases in animals, prevention is always the best cure. It is recommended for pet owners to visit a veterinarian to have a pet’s teeth and overall health examined once a year. Dogs and cats should also have their teeth brushed on a regular basis. Special foods, such as dental chews, dental bones, rawhide, and other healthy products that pets consider "treats," are also helpful in keeping pet’s teeth clean and free from disease.
