You are a responsible pet owner. You take good care of your pet. But do you always remember to take care of your pet's teeth?

Did you know that the bacteria on dirty teeth intermittently access the bloodstream resulting in organ damage and a lowered immune system .Mortality studies in people have shown that people with severe periodontal disease have twice the chance as dying in the next 5—10 years and doubtless this will occur in pets as well .However we brush our teeth twice daily and our pets do not so they are far more open to complications of poor mouth hygiene than us. Abrasive diets formulated for teeth slow down this process approximately but that’s not enough by itself and so pets will require dental scaling at some times of their life .The frequency required depends on your ability to perform brushing at home (very difficult with most cats and some dogs)   and the luck of the draw with regard to genetics .Like people some pets just have better teeth than other’s.

Dental disease can be avoided.

Signs of Dental Problems

• Bad breath – one of the first signs of dental disease
• A yellowish-brown crust of plaque on the teeth near the gum line
• Red and swollen gums
• Pain or bleeding when your pet eats or when the mouth or gums are touched
• Decreased appetite or difficulty eating
• Loose or missing teeth
• Broken or chipped teeth

Does your pet have bad breath or reddened gums?

If so, it could be from gingivitis. Gingivitis occurs when soft plaque hardens into rough, irritating tartar. Tartar build-up on your pet's teeth can cause damage to the teeth and gums.
