PET SYMPTOMS
Dental hygiene in pets is as important as in humans. If teeth and gums care are not properly and regularly performed, numerous problems will develop. As the result of poor or non-existent dental hygiene, soft dental plaque builds up on the surfaces of the teeth. If plaque accumulates, the bacteria in it irritate the gums and cause inflammation. Calcium salts from saliva gradually bind themselves on the plaque, forming calculus (hard dental tartar). Tartar relatively quickly grows in thickness, providing new surface for plaque accumulating, and it is difficult to remove without the dental instruments.
Bad breath is usually the first sign of periodontal disease that the owners notice. The gums are usually very irritated and inflamed, the can be bleeding and painful, which leads to loss of appetite. As the teeth roots become affected with the disease, they gradually loosen and fall out. Bacteria from the oral cavity can eventually enter the bloodstream and cause serious health issues.
