Why Pet Dental Care Matters (and How to Save During November Dental Discount Month)

At Companion Animal Medical Centre, we’re celebrating November Dental Discount Month with $100 off your pet’s dental cleaning — plus a free swag bag valued over $75! It’s the perfect time to take care of your pet’s teeth and save big while doing it.

Why Pet Dental Health Is So Important
According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, periodontal disease is the most common dental condition in pets. It begins when plaque hardens into tartar, causing redness, swelling, and damage beneath the gumline. Over time, bacteria from dental disease can enter the bloodstream and affect the heart, kidneys, and liver.
That’s why we recommend a professional dental cleaning at least once a year — before dental disease can take hold.
Common Signs of Dental Problems
If you notice any of these signs, it may be time for a dental check-up:
-
Bad breath
-
Dropping food or chewing on one side
-
Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
-
Loose or discolored teeth
-
Pawing at the mouth
-
Reluctance to eat hard food
Even subtle changes — like your pet becoming quieter or more irritable — can indicate oral discomfort.
Why Dental Cleanings Require Anesthesia
A proper dental cleaning means scaling under the gumline, where most disease hides. For your pet’s safety and comfort, cleanings are done under anesthesia. This allows your veterinarian to take dental x-rays, remove plaque below the surface, and polish the teeth without stress or pain.
Today’s anesthesia protocols are safer than ever, and most pets go home the same day.
How You Can Help at Home
-
Brush your pet’s teeth several times a week using pet-safe toothpaste.
-
Offer dental chews or treats approved by your veterinarian.
-
Schedule yearly dental exams to catch problems early.
Regular brushing and professional cleanings together can add years to your pet’s life — and keep those kisses fresh!
