Your pets have dental health needs just like us. It’s important to keep a close eye on their oral health, as they won’t always let us know if something is wrong. They start off by getting some fuzzy plaque on their teeth and then it starts calcifying into tartar. With time, that tartar will eventually hit the gum line and they will have now started the process of periodontal disease.
There are 4 stages to periodontal disease that categorizes the severity of the disease and the damage it has caused. The beginning stages of the disease thankfully have the potential to be reversed with great compliance from the owners. When the pet has hit stages 3-4, periodontal disease has damaged the gum line and roots of the teeth too excessively to be able to reverse the process. Periodontal disease can be very painful and can affect not only your pet’s teeth but other internal organs if bacteria jumps into the bloodstream of damaged, irritated and bleeding gums.
Dental health should be a priority all year round, but for the months of February and March, the Riverview Animal Hospital is putting a spot light on dental health as we are trying to promote oral hygiene tips for pet parents to do at home, as well as educating owners on the importance of their pet’s dental health.
