Canine Oral Health: Breaking Down Periodontal Disease



What Is Periodontal Disease?

Periodontal disease is an infection of the tissues surrounding your dog’s teeth, caused by the buildup of plaque and tartar. If left untreated, it can lead to gum inflammation, tooth loss, and even systemic health issues affecting the heart, kidneys, and liver.

Signs to Watch For

Look out for these warning signs:

  • Bad breath (halitosis)
  • Swollen, bleeding gums
  • Difficulty chewing or dropping food
  • Yellow or brown tartar buildup
  • Pawing at the mouth or showing discomfort

Prevention is Key

  • Daily Brushing: Use pet-safe toothpaste to brush your dog’s teeth regularly.
  • Dental Chews and Toys: These can help reduce plaque buildup while keeping your pup entertained.
  • Healthy Diet: A balanced diet promotes stronger teeth and gums.
  • Vet Visits: Regular dental check-ups are essential for early detection and care.
