dog dental

The most common dental condition affecting dogs and cats is periodontal disease, an infection and inflammation of the gums and supporting tissues of the teeth, caused by bacteria present in plaque and calculus (tartar). Alongside bad breath and bleeding at the gum line, when plaque and calculus are allowed to build up in your pet's teeth more serious issues can arise like receding gums, the loosening and eventual loss of teeth and may cause bacteria and toxins to enter the bloodstream with potentially harmful effects on internal organs. Therefore, prophylactic treatment to keep the teeth clean is of great importance. Regular dental check-up visits are strongly recommended and the time between check-up's varies from pet to pet.
