The inflammation and infection of the tissues supporting the teeth is known as periodontal disease. Plaque contains bacteria that can enter your pet's bloodstream, where it can spread to the heart, liver, and kidneys and seriously harm the organs.

One of the most prevalent medical issues that veterinarians typically encounter is dental disease.

More than 80% of dogs older than three years are thought to have active dental disease.

Brushing your dog's teeth every day using toothpaste designed specifically for dogs is one approach to stop plaque and tartar from forming on their teeth.

Giving your dog snacks and chew toys that have been specifically created for oral health for dogs can also help prevent plaque build-up, and certain pet meals have even been created with dental care in mind.

Your pet will have a complete dental examination at a normal dental cleaning session. To get rid of any plaque and tartar buildup, your veterinary dentist will then perform a dental scale and polish. Your dental veterinarian will then suggest the necessary course of action.

For instance, further treatment or tooth extraction may be needed if the tartar buildup is extensive.
