The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) has dedicated February as National Pet Dental Health Month. Periodontal disease is the most common disease affecting older animals.
We aim to raise your awareness so you can improve the health of your animal’s teeth without the need for a Comprehensive Oral Health Assessment and Treatment (COHAT/Dental). Many dogs and cats need a comprehensive dental to establish a clean slate to move forward with. Many times disease exists below the gumline which can only be seen with dental Xrays.
Practical Tips
Scheduling an initial exam with Infinity Vet for just $70 provides a valuable opportunity to get a status of your pet’s dental health, in addition to their overall health. This enables telehealth visits throughout the year, offering peace of mind whenever your pet may need medical attention. Don’t hesitate—call us today to secure your appointment!
Dental Products
We only trust products tested and provenly affected by the Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC).
Our best recommendation is the enzymatic toothpaste to work up to tooth-brushing. We recommend our clients spend about a month with the toothpaste on their fingers before starting to use a toothbrush. You should be able to touch all the teeth in your animal’s mouth before transitioning to a toothbrush.
Use the toothpaste as a treat! Make the experience a bonding opportunity for you and your pet. Small dogs and cats will require a small pet toothbrush, otherwise a child’s or regular toothbrush with semi-firm to firm bristles will work.
