Your pet’s dental health is an important part of his overall health. According to the American Veterinary Dental Society, 80% of dogs and 70% of cats have oral disease by the age of 3.
Dental disease is an often unrecognized source of pain in pets.
Common signs of oral disease include:
Tartar buildup
Red and swollen gums
Bad breath
Changes in eating or chewing habits
Pawing at the face
Generalized depression.
Dental disease causes pain and can affect other organs in the body: bacteria in the mouth can get into the blood stream and may cause serious kidney infections, liver disease, lung disease, and heart valve disease.
Bacteria and food debris accumulates around a pet’s teeth and, if left unchecked, will lead to deterioration of the soft tissue and bone surrounding the teeth. This decay results in irreversible periodontal disease and even tooth loss.
