Baby Bear is adorable! Thanks for including a picture! Many clients are surprised when we tell them that their pet has dental disease. But the reality is that over 50% of animals over 2 years of age have dental disease. Imagine if you didn't brush your teeth for years! So, if Baby Bear has not had her teeth cleaned before, I would imagine that she has some degree of dental disease. If you would like a second opinion, you could always see a veterinary dentist. You can find one near you here. https://www.avdc-dms.org/dms/list/diplomates-map.cfm I hope that was helpful and answered your question. Thanks for using PetCoach.
