PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTS FOR ANIMAL DENTISTRY
Good dental hygiene is important for all mouths – no matter the species. Just like humans, animals need to see dentists too but we can’t ask them to sit in the exam chair, open up and say aah. Zoos and veterinary practices have many resources that help them provide good preventative dental care to keep the animals’ pearly whites in tiptop shape.
In animals as in people, problems in the mouth can be painful and the mouth can harbor harmful bacteria that can affect other parts of the body. Routine veterinary dental care helps prevent gingivitis (inflammation of the gums), fractured teeth, tumors, loose teeth, calculus so that an animal or pet’s mouth won’t hurt so they will be happier and healthier.
Dental technicians do a lot of the scaling and polishing and some of routine dental maintenance. If an animal is uncooperative or needs further medical attention, procedures are done under anesthesia at the animal hospital or down on the grounds by veterinary dental specialists.
MDS has a selected the following specialized professional oral care products with in mind. Make dental cleanings easier, more effective while diverting landfill and reducing micro-plastic.
