Dental disease is one of the most undertreated chronic problems in pets. By age three, many dogs and cats already have some periodontal inflammation.
From plaque to periodontitis
Bacteria form plaque in hours; minerals turn it into tartar that anchors bacteria along the gumline. Gingivitis can progress to attachment loss and tooth loosening.
Signs owners miss
Halitosis, drooling, pawing at the mouth, dropping food, preferring soft food, or reduced play with chew toys.
Professional dental cleaning
Scaling under anesthesia is often needed for thorough removal and oral examination. Home brushing slows recurrence but rarely reverses established disease.
Pet NGON offers grooming and hygiene services—not dentistry. For suspected oral pain or swelling, see a veterinarian first.
After veterinary clearance, routine grooming helps maintain coat and overall cleanliness while you implement brushing or dental diets at home.
Next step: Schedule a vet dental assessment if Boss shows oral discomfort; book Pet NGON bathing and trimming for coat care once safe.
