Welcome to Guardian Vet - your trusted partner in maintaining your pet's dental health and happiness. Experience top-notch veterinary dentistry with a difference, where every smile tells a tale of wellness.
Dental disease is very common among pets and can be a sneaky problem. Most dental issues are hidden under the gum line, and even pets with painful problems often have very subtle symptoms. Signs of dental pain can be as subtle as being a bit quieter or more tired or shifting food to a different part of the mouth. If your pet has “bad breath” or gingivitis (a redness to the gum line along the teeth), these are signs of a potential problem brewing. Bacteria living in the gum tissue next to the teeth don't just smell bad, they cause sore gums, bone destruction around the teeth, and problems in other organs as they migrate through the blood. Choices you make with your pet's diet and chew toys can reduce dental disease, and many pets will let you incorporate tooth brushing into their routine – we can show you how! Regular professional dental cleaning with dental radiographs to look for problems under the gums is also an important part of keeping pets' mouths healthy.
For preventative care, we look to the Veterinary Oral Health Council guidelines for researched products that work well for pet dental preventative care.

Pet Dental Health: The Foundation of Overall Well-being
It is estimated that by age 3, over 75% of dogs and cats have periodontal disease.
