Signs of Dental Disease
Because pets tend to hide discomfort, it can be hard to spot dental issues. At Central Broward Animal Hospital, we help pet owners identify subtle signs of trouble and provide top-notch care to address them. Look for these common signs of dental disease in your pet:
- Bad breath
- Yellow or brown teeth
- Red, swollen gums
- Trouble eating
- Avoidance of chew toys
- Blood in their food or water bowl
- Loose or missing teeth
If you notice any of these signs, we’re here to provide the best care and create a treatment plan tailored to your pet’s needs.
High Quality Preventive Care for Cats and Dogs
Preventing dental problems in your pet takes more than a one-size-fits-all approach. The team at Central Broward Animal Hospital is committed to providing personalized guidance and care to ensure your pet’s dental health is looked after. Here’s how we can help:

Some pets may not tolerate teeth brushing, but we have alternatives! We can recommend dental chews, treats, or prescription diets designed to help reduce plaque and tartar.
