Summary

• Daily dental care for pets is significantly more
  than an aesthetic concern. Daily dental care is
  crucial protection against periodontal disease
  the most common cause of bad breath in dogs and
  cats.
• Periodontal disease, which is caused by plaque
  and tartar buildup, can result in tooth loss
  and oral diseases. Periodontal disease can also
  have a secondary effect on specific organs (such
  as the heart, kidneys, and liver), causing or
  exacerbating organ system disorders. According to
  surveys and research, more than 80 of dogs and
  70 of cats have some sort of dental illness by
  the age of three.

Here are some of the most frequently asked
questions regarding pet dental health that
explain more about the importance of pet dental
care to help pet owners with pet dental care and
help pets avoid the risks of periodontal disease.

Questions

• 1  What factors contribute to dental disease?

• Plaque bacteria cause periodontal disease.
• Plaque is a sticky substance that builds on
  teeth after brushing or professional cleaning.
• Plaque is made up of regular mouth bacteria,
  saliva, and food particles.
• The oral bacteria initiate a cycle of
  inflammation that can be limited to the gingiva,
  or it can continue and cause major periodontal
  disease that travels down the tooth, causing bone
  loss and infection, both of which can have
  catastrophic local and systemic (body-wide)
  effects.

Questions

• 2  What are the symptoms of dental disease?

• Bad breath (halitosis), edema and redness of the
  gum tissue or other soft tissues in the mouth,
  drooling or excessive salivation are the most
  prevalent symptoms.
• Other symptoms include chewing trouble,
  discolored or broken teeth, loose or missing
  teeth, nasal discharge or sneezing, and swelling
  of the cheek, jaw, or neck.

Questions

• 3  How do plaque and tartar differ?

• Plaque is a bacterial colony that has been
  combined with saliva, blood cells, and other
  bacterial components.
• Plaque is frequently the cause of tooth and gum
  disease.
• Dental tartar, also known as calculus,
  forms when plaque mineralizes (hardens) and
  firmly attaches to the tooth enamel, eroding the
  gingival tissue.

Questions

• 4  What is the impact of periodontal disease on
  my pet?

• Periodontal disease can cause discomfort, gum
  infection, and tooth loss on a local (in the
  mouth) level.
• Chronic periodontal tissue infection permits
  bacteria to enter the bloodstream, seeding the
  internal organs (heart, kidneys, liver) and
  potentially leading to catastrophic infections in
  these organs.

Questions

• 5  Is it necessary to brush my dogs teeth
  regularly?

• Brushing your pets teeth twice a day is
  recommended by a veterinary dentist.
• Most dog owners brush their dogs teeth at least
  once each day, and some do it every few days,
  which is great.
• A minimum of three brushings each week is
  recommended to minimize plaque and tartar
  formation.
• Brushing your dogs teeth on a regular basis
  allows you to monitor the health of his mouth.
• Examine the area from the roof of the mouth to
  the area beneath the tongue.
• These surfaces should be kept wet and smooth at
  all times.

Questions

• 6  My dog dislikes brushing teeth. What Should I
  Do?

Brushing your dogs sparkling whites should
ideally begin when he or she is a puppy. It may
take a little longer for an adult dog to accept
dental brushing, but it is well worth the time
and effort! To successfully train your pet, you
must make it a pleasurable experience for him or
her.

• Here are some tips to assist you to accomplish
  this huge task
• Locate a location free of distractions.
• Place tiny dogs in your lap, facing away from
  you. If you have a large dog, place them on a
  chair next to you so you can comfortably hold its
  mouth.
• Gently rub your finger or a soft cloth over the
  outside surface of your dogs teeth.
• Rub only a few teeth at a time during the first
  few sessions, rather than the entire mouth. This
  will make brushing teeth more comfortable for
  frightened pets.
• Apply pet toothpaste to your finger and give it
  to them to taste. When your dog is calm, apply
  some to a tiny cloth and rub it all over their
  teeth. You can do this until your pet is used to
  having his teeth rubbed.
• Once your dog is comfortable, you can begin
  using a special toothbrush. Apply a small bit on
  the toothbrush, and then gently elevate one side
  of your pets mouth. Brush one side for 30
  seconds.
• Tilt your dogs head backward while holding the
  top jaw with your thumb and index finger to wash
  their lower teeth.

10
Questions

• 7  What can happen if I dont brush my pets
  teeth?

• Plaque and tartar both harm the teeth and gums.
• The gums are the first to be affected by the
  disease (gingiva).
• They become inflamed, turning red, bloated, and
  painful. 
• The gums eventually separate from the teeth,
  forming pockets where bacteria, plaque, and
  tartar can accumulate.
• These, in turn, cause further damage and,
  eventually, tooth and bone loss.

11
The Last Word

• Brush your dogs pearly teeth at least three to
  five times each week to eliminate plaque and
  prevent tartar formation. Gingivitis, an
  inflammation of the gum line produced by plaque
  bacteria, is a common precursor to periodontal
  disease.
• As a result, it is critical that your dogs teeth
  are kept clean in between brushings. No other
  factors such as heavy pressurize brushing
  with two-headed toothbrushes in which your dog
  may feel it irritating and will not allow you to
  do his/her brushing easily.
