If you vet hasn't mentioned needing a dentistry then they probably don't need it yet. Heredity along with diet plays a big factor in when or if your individual pet will need a dentistry and how often.

If your vet says they need one, then it IS important. Like with our own teeth, tartar and plaque get into the gums, and also the bacteria. Once in the gums it spreads to the entire body which if left untreated can even cause heart/liver/kidney problems.

What is really hard at work, is when we have a client that has refused a dentistry time and time again and then have to watch them cry their hearts out when their pet has to be euthanized at a younger age than necessary because of failing heart etc that was totally preventable.
