Ensuring Your Pet’s Oral Health at South Broward Animal Hospital
Dental disease is one of the most common health problems in pets, and it often develops long before owners notice any signs. Plaque and tartar buildup allow bacteria to collect under the gumline, leading to gingivitis, tooth decay, painful infections, and even damage to the heart, liver, and kidneys if left untreated.
Regular at‑home care—such as brushing, dental chews, and approved oral‑health products—helps slow plaque buildup, but it cannot remove the hardened tartar that forms below the gumline. That’s why professional dental cleanings are essential.
A COHAPT (Comprehensive Oral Health Assessment, Prevention and Treatment) is the gold standard of veterinary dental care. During this procedure, we perform a full oral exam, take dental X‑rays to evaluate the roots and bone, clean above and below the gumline, and treat any disease that’s found. This thorough approach allows us to diagnose hidden problems like fractured teeth, abscesses, bone loss, and early periodontal disease—issues that cannot be seen during an awake exam.
By identifying and treating dental disease early, a COHAT not only relieves pain but also prevents more serious infections and tooth loss. Regular professional cleanings, combined with consistent home care, help keep your pet’s mouth healthy and their whole body safer from the effects of chronic dental infection.
