Brushing, flossing, tongue-scraping, mouthwashing, and regular visits to the dentist.
For many pets, the routine is… nothing.
Oral health is important for dogs and cats too, but it’s often overlooked.
Find the products that you can incorporate into a routine with your pet and talk with your veterinarian about regular dental check-ups.
How to Recognize Dental Disease
Canine periodontitis is a bacterial infection of the mouth. Watch for the early signs of infection, such as inflamed gums, tartar build-up or foul-smelling breath. Even what is thought of as typical dog breath can be a sign of dental disease.
Periodontal disease often occurs below the gum line, meaning you cannot see the full extent without a proper anesthetic dental procedure with your veterinarian.
Dental disease is a progressive disease, the earlier it is identified and treated the greater the chance of minimizing the advancement of the disease.
Why it Matters
Dental disease causes pain and discomfort. Dental disease can also impact other areas of the body including the heart, liver, kidneys, and pancreas.
