Does your best friend have bad breath?
Despite what many pet owners may believe, "dog breath" is not just a nuisance - it's a sign of an unhealthy mouth.
Bad breath is caused by bacteria.
Over time, bacteria lead to plaque and tartar buildup on your pet's teeth.
The result is bad breath, reddened gums, and other common signs of dental disease.
As dental disease progresses, other signs can include drooling, discomfort while chewing, and loose or missing teeth.
Even if you're using treats and chews to help control tartar, these are frequently not enough to keep dental disease in check.

Laser therapy speeds healing, so veterinarians routinely treat injuries with the laser; they also treat patients immediately after surgery so that incisions heal more quickly.
Studies indicate that laser-treated wounds heal in one third to one half times faster than the time required in normal healing.
A single laser treatment is usually all that is required for post-surgical patients to reduce swelling and to speed healing.
Skin wounds, abrasions, bite injuries, dermatitis, and burns all respond well to laser therapy.
