How do I recognize signs of dental disease in pets

[RonanBruce]

Sure! Here are seven different ways to recognize signs of dental disease in pets:

[DannaBarker]

**Bad Breath**: If your pet's breath smells like something died, that's a big red flag. Pets shouldn't have stinky breath!

[KatieButler]

**Drooling More Than Usual**: If you notice your furry friend drooling a lot, especially if it seems excessive, it could mean something's up with their teeth or gums.

**Pawing at Their Mouth**: If your pet keeps pawing at their mouth or seems to be uncomfortable when you touch their face, they might be trying to tell you something's wrong.

**Difficulty Eating**: If your pet is suddenly picky about food or seems to struggle while chewing, it might be a sign of dental pain.

**Swollen Gums**: Take a peek inside their mouth. If you see red or swollen gums, that’s definitely not normal and could indicate gum disease.

**Loose or Missing Teeth**: If you notice any loose teeth or even teeth that are missing, it’s time to get them checked out by a vet.
