Veterinary Dentistry: Home Care

Kris Bannon, DVM, FAVD, DAVDC, veterinary dentist at Veterinary Dentistry & Oral Surgery of New Mexico, LLC., explains another important part of a pet's wellness package—home care.

While not every pet owner gets puppies and kittens, it's never too late to teach owners how to brush their pets' teeth. Practicing home care not only helps encourge and foster the human-animal bond, but it also helps the pet owners recognize problems with their pet's teeth more quickly.
