will ever have<br />
It is crucial that responsible pet owners<br />
are committed to keeping their dog’s teeth<br />
and gums healthy and strong.<br />
Most dental disease occurs below the<br />
visible gum line where you can’t see it. It<br />
is important to take your dog to the vet to<br />
get their teeth cleaned at least once a year.<br />
These visits also give your vet the chance<br />
to do a thorough dental check; enabling<br />
them to spot and respond to any issues<br />
before they become big problems. Talk<br />
with your vet about any dental products,<br />
treats, dental specific diets, and home<br />
brushing activities you are considering for<br />
your pet.<br />
It is also a good idea to brush your dog’s<br />
teeth daily yourself. Ideally, start doing<br />
this when they are a puppy to help them<br />
get used to it. With patience and positive<br />
reinforcement training, most dogs will<br />
accept brushing.<br />
Be vigilant! When your cleaning your<br />
dog’s teeth or playing with them take note<br />
whether some areas of their gums are<br />
redder than others. Always use caution<br />
when evaluating your pet’s mouth because<br />
a pet in pain may bite.<br />
Periodontal disease is an inflammatory<br />
condition of the structures that surround<br />
and support the teeth. Early detection<br />
and treatment are critical. Advanced<br />
periodontal disease can cause severe<br />
problems and pain for your pet that can<br />
impact your pet’s overall health including<br />
kidney, liver and heart muscle changes.<br />

problems are obvious, non-specific<br />
signs such as irritability and behavioural<br />
changes can also result from oral diseases.<br />
If you observe any of the following signs<br />
contact your veterinarian: bad breath,<br />
reduced appetite, broken or loose teeth,<br />
bleeding from the mouth, teeth that are<br />
discoloured or covered in tartar, abnormal<br />
chewing, drooling or dropping food<br />
from the mouth or swelling in the areas<br />
surrounding the mouth.<br />
Regularly brushing your pet’s teeth<br />
is the single most effective action you<br />
can take to keep your pet’s teeth healthy<br />
and prevent most of the common oral<br />
diseases. Daily brushing is best, but not<br />
always possible; brushing several times a<br />
week can also be effective.<br />
