Can you guess the most common medical procedure after spay/neuter performed by the veterinarians at Marin Humane? Many people are surprised to learn it’s dental procedures.
Neglecting plaque and tartar buildup can lead to periodontitis, an irreversible condition involving the inflammation and infection of the gums. Inflamed gums separate from the teeth, allowing bacteria to enter and attack the tooth at the root. At this point, bacteria can also enter the bloodstream and travel to major organs like the heart, liver and kidneys, causing serious complications.
Veterinarians will remove tartar, check for cavities and growths, extract diseased teeth and finally, give those teeth a good polishing. A final polish will smooth the teeth and discourage the formation of new plaque and tartar. Extraction of problem teeth can provide tremendous relief for suffering animals and most cope well without the missing ones.“It’s important for people to be proactive when it comes to their pets’ oral health,” says Marin Humane director of shelter medicine Belinda Evans.
