Info

Periodontal disease, commonly referred to as gum disease, is the most common disease in dogs and cats. Almost 90% of dogs and cats will have developed some form of periodontal disease by two (2) years of age. 

What’s periodontal disease? A progressive disease caused by bacteria in the mouth that damages the gums, bone, and other structures of the teeth. 
 
There are four (4) stages of periodontal disease.
 
Stage 1: gingivitis or inflammation of the gums.
Symptoms: red gums, gums that bleed during brushing or chewing, bad breath.
 
Stage 2: 25% of the tooth’s attachment to the supporting structure is lost.
Symptoms: red gums, gums that bleed during brushing or chewing, bad breath, receded gums.
 
Stage 3: 25%-50% of the tooth’s supporing structure is lost.
Symptoms: red gums, gums that bleed during brushing and chewing, bad breath, moderate gum recession, loose teeth.
 
Stage 4: more than 50% of the tooth’s attachment is lost.
Symptoms: tooth root exposure, loose teeth, missing teeth, pus oozing from around teeth. 
 
How to prevent periodontal disease? First step is performing a dental cleaning. This involves scaling the teeth to remove plaque and tartar and polishing the teeth. Performing this cleaning without the use of anesthesia is completely safe, and results are guaranteed.  
 
Gum disease left untreated can wreak havoc on your pet’s entire body. It can cause:
– jaw fractures
– tooth abscesses
– oronasal fistolas (holes that pass between the mouth and nasal passages can develop)
– oral cancers
– increased risk of organ damage (chronic kidney disease, liver disease, heart disease). It can also make it harder to regulate blood sugar in dogs and cats with diabetes.

How to prevent periodontal disease? Brush their teeth daily, use tooth care products to help decrease plaque and gingivitis such as: dental wipes, oral rinses, dental chews; and regular dental cleaning.
