The Importance Of Dental Care For Canines:
Dental issues in dogs are quite common, especially among smaller breeds. Furthermore, there is a link between periodontal disease and heart problems due to bacterial toxins and damaged tissue, as bacteria can travel from the mouth into the bloodstream, accumulating and adhering to the arteries around the heart. Research indicates that this can result in damage to vital organs such as the kidneys, liver, and heart. Additionally, when the bone supporting the gums gets infected, it can also be destroyed, leading to pain that makes pets hesitant to eat. It's crucial to recognize that without regular dental care, tartar and mineral deposits can lead to gingivitis, halitosis, periodontal disease, and even tooth loss. The positive aspect is that with appropriate care and early detection, periodontal disease can be avoided, treated, and even reversed. Since pets cannot maintain their own dental hygiene, it is essential for their owners to take charge of it. That's you!
