Dentistry
Rio Bravo Veterinary Hospital offers a wide range of dental care for your dog or cat. We recommend speaking to a veterinarian to determine your pets best course of action.
Why do dogs and cats need dental care?
Just like humans, our animals build plaque that leads to gum inflammation and possibly tooth decay. If left untreated it can ultimately turn into tooth loss, infection or even organ damage. It is important to see your veterinarian yearly to ensure your teeth, breath and overall health is in good condition. Below are some signs that our veterinarians often smell and see.
Bad breath
Yellow or stained teeth
Swollen or bleeding gums
Constant pawing at the mouth
Mouth sores
Difficulty eating or swallowing
Missing or loose teeth
Tooth sensitivity
