In this episode of Tea & Tails, we sit down with a veterinary dentist to uncover the hidden world of dental pain in pets. Dental disease is one of the most common, and most overlooked, sources of chronic pain in dogs and cats.

✨ What you’ll learn in this episode:

-Why pets hide pain (and why eating doesn’t mean they’re pain-free)

-The link between dental disease and overall health

-Myths busted: anesthesia-free cleanings, every pet has bad breath, and more

-How vets diagnose and treat dental pain safely

-Everyday signs owners can watch for at home

-Steps you can take to prevent dental disease before it causes suffering

🎧 Whether your pet has bad breath, avoids chewing on one side, or just seems “off,” this episode will help you spot the subtle signs of pain and act before it’s too late
