An essential part of dental care is regular dental scaling. Plaque buildup over time can lead to bad breath, gingivitis, and even damage to the gum bone and periodontal ligament, causing pain and discomfort to your pet. If this condition persists, bacteria can penetrate deeper, increasing the risk of infection and serious damage to the teeth and gums. Therefore, maintaining a routine of regular dental checkups and dental scaling will help keep your pet healthy, comfortable, and avoid dangerous complications.
