What dental problems should I watch for in my pet?

Common dental issues include:

• Bad breath
• Red or bleeding gums
• Plaque and tartar
• Loose or missing teeth
• Difficulty chewing or dropping food
• Yellow or brown buildup near the gumline

Untreated dental problems can cause pain, infection, and long‑term health issues. Regular brushing and annual vet visits can prevent most concerns.
