Planning For Dental Care Expenses
Understanding the Costs for Cat and Dog Dentistry
Even relatively mild dental disease requires specialized medicines and more sophisticated equipment to ensure the pet’s safety, which certainly adds to the cost of veterinary dental care. Many pet owners understandably feel these costs are too much. However, they should be put into perspective.
- Dental disease can be incredibly painful — It can be the case that tooth or gum disease is behind your pet’s bad behavior.
- Dental infection puts your pet’s immune system under stress, leading to comprised function of the heart, kidney, and liver. In very extreme cases the infection can cause septicemia and death.
- Over the course of your pet’s lifetime, dental cleaning and polishing can actually save you money when compared to the damage caused by progressive dental infection and disease.
Preventive dental care and early intervention is the best way to keep your pet from suffering unnecessary pain and developing irreversible health problems.
