===============================================
Oral health is a critical element in a pet's quality of life and can have an impact on overall health.


While you are making a significant commitment to your pet's dental health, please keep in mind that each patient is unique, and we will do our best to develop a treatment plan at your initial appointment. Technically, stomatitis simply implies cavity inflammation (itis) (stoma).

Stomatitis is a complex illness, but we do know that it appears to be caused by a hypersensitivity to plaque. For unexplained reasons, the immune system overreacts to plaque or calculus (tartar) components, causing severe inflammation, ulceration, and discomfort wherever plaque is detected.

Feline stomatitis is an excruciatingly painful infection of the cat's mouth and gums. Gingivitis is a medical word for gum inflammation and is one of the first indications of dental illness. Stomatitis is more widespread inflammation of the mucous membranes in the mouth.
