Just like humans, dog's teeth also need regular brushing and periodical dental check. If left unattended dental disease will develop. These bacteria eat away at the teeth and gum and it can also affect other parts of the body such as the heart and kidney. This is a serious consequence of poor dental health as the infection originates in the gum will eventually spread throughout the body.


How Does Dental Plaque caused disease?

The bacteria in the plaque produce toxins(poisons) that will caused the gums to become red and swollen(inflammation). This is the beginning stage of periodontal diseases. As the disease progresses, the toxins will start to destroy the underlying bone that supports the teeth. Eventually, the teeth become loose and shaky.

Apart from the yearly cleansing, we can also carry out a periodical check of your dog's oral health and advise you accordingly if your dog is due for dental treatment.
