Merrimack Veterinary Hospital Announces Advancements in Dentistry

Merrimack Veterinary Hospital recently invested in advanced training and equipment to ensure the highest quality dental care for all pets.

Merrimack, NH August 10th, 2015 - Merrimack Veterinary Hospital recently invested in advanced training and equipment to ensure the highest quality dental care for all pets. Studies show that 50% of all dogs and cats have some form of periodontal disease and that number jumps to 75% when you look specifically at pets over age three. Left untreated, periodontal disease can cause infection, pain and tooth loss over time. It can also lead to microscopic changes in the heart, liver and kidneys and can cause serious health problems for both canines and felines. Merrimack Veterinary Hospital is committed to our patients' dental health and implements the highest quality dental care. We take a comprehensive approach to dental care including dental health assessment, treatment and prevention. We have state of the art dental equipment including digital x-rays to help diagnose disease. 75% of oral radiography cases reveal disease not visible to the eye. At Merrimack Veterinary Hospital, we recommend an annual dental healthcare examination for all pets.
