Whether your Border Collie has dental issues or not, it’s a good idea to have a dentist on call for him. If your veterinarian is also a certified in dental care then you can have all of your dog’s health needs met in one place. A dentist can also pick up on signs of gingivitis, which is a leading cause of gum disease in dogs. Gingivitis can cause bad breath in your dog and create problems for your dog when chewing. The disease shows up as inflammation of the gums and teeth. Your dog’s dental vet can help clean the teeth, remove excess plaque and calculus buildup. During a dental exam, your dog will be put under so that he can’t feel anything. Your dental vet may also pull decayed teeth at this time. All of this is necessary to ensure your Collie’s overall dental health. Talk with your veterinarians town n country to learn more.
