Dental Care

Big Love Pet Vet performs dental checkups during your pet’s wellness visits to help prevent serious dental problems. Being your pets’ primary care giver makes us their dentist too! We provide routine dental services including annual examinations, professional teeth cleaning, and extractions when necessary.

Neglected dental hygiene leads to a buildup of plaque on the surface of the tooth and below the gum line. Over time, bacteria cause gum inflammation, the destruction of supportive tissues and bone, bad breath, tooth loss, gum infection, and pain. Periodontal disease is also linked to liver and heart disease and has the potential of shortening your pet’s life.

Help prevent serious dental problems by making sure that your pet receives regular professional dental cleanings and a good daily home dental care program.

Signs of periodontal disease include:

• • Pawing or rubbing at the mouth
• • Drooling
• • Decreased appetite
• • Change in eating habits
• • Bad breath
• • Bleeding from the mouth
• • Aggressive behavior

If you notice your pet having any of these symptoms, it’s possible that periodontal disease is already in advanced stages. Call today for a dental evaluation for your pet. Big Love Pet Vet travels in Arkansas from Forrest City to Helena-West Helena, southward to Snow Lake and as far west as Stuttgart in addition to Mississippi areas including Hernando, Sledge, Tutwiler, Rena Lara, Dundee, and everywhere in-between.
