Dental Health often goes unnoticed, studies have shown that 80% of pets over the age of 3 have dental disease. Dental disease can cause any of the following: gum disease, tooth loss, heart or kidney disease, stained teeth, and bad breath. There are 4 stages of dental disease: plaque accumulation, tartar build up, gum inflammation (known as Gingivitis) and gum separation (know as Periodontitis).
Things to watch for in your pet:
bad breath
yellow-brown crust on teeth
bleeding gums
change in chewing or eating habits
tooth loss
abnormal drooling
