Is stinky breath coming between you and your pet?
Contrary to popular belief, bad breath isn’t something that pet parents simply must learn to live with. In fact, it’s probably a sign that your furry friend could use a visit to the dentist.
Without adequate care, your pet’s mouth can become a haven for bacteria, which can spread through the bloodstream and cause a number of other health problems. Left untreated, dental disease can even shorten your loved one’s life.
Thankfully, with the right support, this can all be prevented.
The professional dentistry services at Omaha Animal Medical Group include both routine, preventative care as well as advanced treatment for existing oral conditions.
