Dental problems in dogs and cats have symptoms including persistent bad breath, red or swollen gums, yellow or brown tartar buildup, excessive drooling, and difficulty chewing. Some pets may also paw at their mouths, drop food while eating, or become less interested in their favorite toys. However, many animals continue eating normally even when experiencing dental pain. If you notice any of these symptoms, schedule a dental examination at River Rock Animal Hospital.
