The gateway to your pet’s health is their mouth. At Wrigleyville Veterinary Center, we strive to educate and guide our clients in providing routine dental care for their pets. Like us, our pets need clean teeth and gums to avoid painful oral infections, tooth loss, and dental disease. If these conditions develop, they can create a domino effect of other health problems and diminish your pet’s quality of life.

Bad breath can signify the onset of dental disease and should be addressed. Dental disease is one of the most common clinical conditions affecting pets today. Untreated dental disease can in fact lead to disease of the heart, liver, and kidneys. Without proper dental care, plaque and tartar begin to build up, leading to more serious problems such as pain, infection, and can eventually cause tooth loss. The resulting infection creates deep pockets around the teeth & can cause tooth loss.
