It's that time of the year...

February is National Pet Dental Month!

Why is this important? Periodontal Disease is considered the most common infection in both man and animals! In fact, it is considered by many veterinarians to be the most common disease found in pets. Periodontal Disease is a combination of infection and inflammation of the tissues that surround the tooth. After a dental cleaning a thin film quickly collects on the teeth; the film is invaded by bacteria (Plaque) within 12 hours. If this plaque is not brushed off completely within 3 days it will mineralize into Calculus (Tarter). The Calculus has to be professionally removed by scaling, brushing will not remove it! The pet's immune system reacts to the bacteria by causing inflammation. In addition to that, some bacteria release toxins that create additional inflammation. The tissues surrounding the teeth get caught in a "war zone" and result in the destruction of bone, gum tissue and the periodontal ligament. The only way to stop the destructive process is to professionally clean the area by scaling, polishing, root planning & subgingival curettage. In other terms...
