August 10, 2007, Newsletter Issue #47: Pet Dental Exams

Tip of the Week

Part of your regular dog or cat exam should be a dental exam. The doctor will look at your dog's teeth, mouth, gums, and lips to make sure there no abnormalities or other health problems. For example, a lack of color in gums could mean your dog has anemia.

The dental exam will also look at the dog's teeth. Healthy teeth are white and clean. If your dog's teeth need cleaning, you can schedule a cleaning appointment with your vet during this exam. Most vet pet insurance covers the cost of regular dog exams and teeth cleaning, so you can keep your dog healthy and happy.

Teeth cleaning requires anesthesia for your dog, so ask your vet if there are any precautions or preparations you should make before your dog's appointment. Dental exams are a key part of keeping your dog healthy and happy.
