Best of Luck to Dr. McGlothlin!

Dr. McGlothlin will be leaving at the end of February after more than six years as an Associate Veterinarian here at Lawndale Veterinary Hospital. She is moving to be closer to her family and while we will miss her greatly, we wish her nothing but the best! We know you share in our gratitude to Dr. McGlothlin for her years of dedication and service to the patients of Lawndale Veterinary Hospital.

Consequences of Dental Disease:

If your pet has dental or periodontal disease, you may see any of the following signs:

• Bad breath (halitosis)
• Teeth that appear dirty (from plaque and calculus)
• Loose teeth
• Gingivitis (inflammation of the gum line)
• Oral bleeding (from periodontal disease)
• Mouth pain
• Drooling
• Decreased appetite or dropping food from the mouth (from pain and increased sensitivity in the mouth)
• Weight loss (if not eating well)
• More grumpy / behavior changes (from having mouth pain)

Importantly, dental disease can also have systemic consequences on the body. Bacteria involved with periodontal disease can also get into the blood stream. From there, the bacteria can travel throughout the body and cause problems in places such as the heart, kidneys, or even cause changes in insulin resistance.
