Why take care of my dog’s teeth?
The importance of a good oral and dental hygiene for humans is well known! Sadly, it is common that we pay less attention to our dog’s mouth.
And that’s a mistake.
Indeed, putting in place a good oral and dental hygiene for your furry friend slows the development of dental plaque. Plaque naturally clings to the teeth’s enamel is a mix of saliva, aliments and bacteria. With time it mineralizes and becomes tartar.
By regularly brushing your dog’s teeth, you avoid bad breath but also and more importantly infections, gingivitis, and other oral illnesses such as periodontal disease. The latter can lead to tooth loss because of the weakening of the supporting tissues and bones.
Be careful: it is important to put a routine in place with your dog from a very young age!
