Ever Brush a Cat’s Teeth?

Brushing your cat’s teeth is just about as easy as giving her a bath – if you’ve ever tried it, I’m sure I’m not telling you anything new. No matter the flavor of “tooth paste,” cats simply do not like to have human hands in their mouths.

Check out how MeiLee feels about having her teeth brushed on this video:

How to Brush the Teeth on a Cat – Cat Grooming

For a much simpler way to maintain your kitty’s oral health, consider simply sprinkling pet oral care probiotics for cats and dogs on her food once daily. Oral care probiotics help balance the bacteria in your pets’ mouths, crowding out harmful bacteria and giving your pet fresher breath and cleaner, whiter teeth.

Beat Bad Breath for Good

Bad breath is a big problem. Whether it’s you, someone you love, someone you work with or the person sitting next to you on the train, if you’ve encountered really bad breath, you know what I mean. Bad breath can significantly impact one person’s impression of another. Even if you are well-dressed and well-groomed, bad breath can be a deal breaker – it’s perceived as a sign of a complete lack of self-care.

If you’ve tried everything – extra brushing, mouth washes that claim to bust bad breath, and even the strongest mints and gums on the market; you know this much is true – bad breath can be a very persistent problem.

Floss, Floss, Floss

If you’ve tried everything you can think of and yet bad breath persists, make sure you are flossing at least once daily. This simple habit can greatly improve bad breath, simply by removing the food caught between teeth, which can cause an odor as they decay and become food of the bacterial residents of the mouth.

See Your Dentist

If nothing you do seems to curb the bad breath, you better make an appointment to see the dentist to make sure the bad breath isn’t a sign of a serious health condition. Bad breath can be a sign of sinus problems.

Balance Your Bacteria

Simply popping an oral care probiotic mint twice daily can make a big, long-lasting impact on your breath. Just as probiotics have long been used to strike an ideal balance of bacteria in the gut, researchers have found that balancing bacteria in the mouth not only supports gum and tooth health,  probiotic mints naturally, safely and effectively freshens breath.

Balancing the bacteria in your mouth with oral probiotics may be your chance to kiss bad breath goodbye for good!

Probiotics Make Oral Care Easier

Helping Kids With Special Needs Take Care of Their Healthy Smiles

Sometimes children with special needs struggle a little more with activities of daily living. Fine and gross motor issues can get in the way of easily accomplishing basic tasks, like dressing, bathing and brushing teeth.

Physical and occupational therapies are a big help when it comes to helping children with special needs learn how to accomplish some of the harder tasks, like buttons and zippers. Sometimes these therapies also help children become more independent with personal hygiene.

Is Brushing Teeth the Exception?

Brushing teeth involves a lot of motor skills. Children need to have good proprioceptive awareness, meaning they need to know where their bodies are in space, in order to comfortably aim the toothbrush into the mouth.

It also involves a skill called “crossing the midline,” meaning kids need to be able to comfortably and confidently reach a hand from one side of the body to the other and use brush with accuracy.

Because of the difficulty in brushing, parents of children with motor skills deficits often end up brushing their childrens’ teeth for them for much longer than they might for other children.

Empowering Kids to Manage
Oral Health

Oral care probiotics are fast becoming a great way for parents to allow their children with special needs and motor control issues to take more control of their tooth health.

These small, candy-like chews are simple for kids to pop out of the packaging and into their mouths. The probiotics have been proven to support tooth health by crowding out harmful bacteria commonly found in the mouth.

If you know a kiddo who would like to take a more active role in caring for his teeth, EvoraKids is a great way to achieve success!

Work For It!

Tired Dogs are Good, Healthy Dogs

Just as we need daily exercise, our dogs need exercise. Combining the two is perfection. If you and your dog are cut out for running, you’ll definitely meet each of your daily cardio needs.

Walk, Walk, Walk

Daily walks are a great place to start when it comes to exercising with your dog. While walking may not be enough to significantly raise your heart rate, experts agree – some exercise is better than none. And of course, there’s good old fetch and tossing the Frisbee, both of which are sure to get your dog moving and make you both a little happier.

Other Exercises You Can Do With Your Furry Friend

Dog owner and lover Tricia Murphy Madden and her Cocker Spaniel, Mona Lica, came up with the idea for “My Best Friend’s Workout” for pets and their parents.

Tricia is avid exercise enthusiast and absolutely believes in the power of having a pet in your life. She is an ACE and AFAA certified fitness instructor, continuing education provider and star of 6 highly acclaimed commercial DVDs. Tricia is a master trainer for Beaming, Gymstick, Gliding and Bender Ball Training Systems. Mona Lica is the pet that changed her life.

According to the My Best Friend’s Workout website, this workout is designed to help dog owners increase the intensity of their daily dog walk. The workout is all about the dog owner, but the pet will benefit from the exercise as well.

My Best Friend’s Workout program teaches the pet owner how to make the daily walk an effective total body workout.  In small increments throughout the day, dog owners everywhere can fit in their workout while giving love and attention to their best friend.

Have FUN!

Here is another fun way to have a  great workout with your fuzzy canine companion.  Get creative with the fun you can have exercising with your dog.

Early Childhood Cavities a Serious Concern

Many parents and doctors alike are likely to shrug off the idea of children having serious dental issues simply because a child’s teeth look beautiful. While it’s only mandatory in most states that children have a dental exam before they attend school, dentists prefer to see children twice a year starting at age 1.

School Days Missed

Serious tooth decay has been blamed for fifty million school days missed each year and even for behavior problems in children who cannot articulate that they have a tooth ache.

Even beautiful-looking smiles can have decay lurking. Take your kids to the dentist every six months and make sure they are brushing and flossing properly.

Preventative Oral Care

Add oral care probiotics to your children’s brushing regimen to add extra protection against an overgrowth of harmful bacteria in the mouth.

A New Answer for Oral Health

Probiotics to the Rescue

Despite the perpetual advent of a new type of toothbrush – from flossing toothbrushes, to toothbrushes angled just-so, to disposable “spin” brushes – adults and children alike continue to have oral health issues.

In fact, according to the American Dental Association , about 70 percent of American adults have some form of periodontal (gum) disease, leaving the door wide open for many other diseases, including diabetes, kidney failure and heart disease.

Obviously the invention of hundreds of different kind of toothbrushes, mouthwashes that claim to wipe out 99.9% of bacteria, whitening tooth flosses, and toothpastes that claim to do everything from protect teeth for hours after brushing to reducing tooth sensitivity, Americans’ teeth are just not getting any healthier.

What’s the Problem with Americans’ Teeth?

It seems one of the biggest problems is that many Americans simply aren’t flossing, or are flossing occasionally and calling it good enough. In fact, only about 10 percent of Americans floss daily. Passing on the floss means that major portions of the teeth and gums aren’t getting cleaned, regardless of how often we brush. Flossing cleans about 30 percent of the tooth’s surfaces.

Clean Teeth is About More Than Removing Food Particles

Most of us think of tooth brushing as a means to remove food and plaque from our tooth surfaces. The fact is, food and plaque alone don’t cause tooth decay or periodontal disease. These conditions are caused by harmful bacteria that lives in the plaque on tooth surfaces and below the gum line.

Removing leftover food particles from these areas certainly helps, as the bacteria thrives on leftover bits of food trapped in the plaque and between teeth. But without the harmful bacteria known as S. mutans, there would be far less of a problem with food trapped on and between teeth.

Just as certain beneficial bacteria – called probiotics – are used to balance bacteria in the gut to improve gut health, dental researchers have discovered that certain probiotics are highly effective at bringing levels of S. mutans into a range where they cannot cause harm.

Oral probiotics are a promising new field of research when it comes to improving the oral health of Americans.

How the Bacteria in Your Pets’ Mouths Affects Their Organ Health

What’s Going On in Your Pets’ Mouth?

Periodontal disease is caused by the accumulation of dental plaque and inflammation of the tissues in the mouth. When the gums become inflamed, enzymes start to break down the connective tissues surrounding the teeth. This breakdown of tissues allows harmful bacteria that naturally reside in your pets’ mouths to pass through the tissue and into the bloodstream, where it can affect the liver, kidneys and heart.

According to the American Veterinary Medical Association , 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats show signs of oral disease by age three – a startling statistic for sure.

How Do You Know if Your Pet Has Periodontal Disease?

The hallmark symptom of periodontal disease in pets is bad breath. I’m not talking about run-of-the-mill dog or cat breath, but the kind of breath that makes you turn your head away when your kitty or pooch comes looking for a smooch.

If you mention that breath to your vet, he’s likely to recommend that you brush your pets’ teeth – a task that can be messy and stressful for both you and your pet.

Is There Another Way to Improve My Pets’ Breath?

Actually, there’s a very simple way to eliminate stinking breath. By adding pet oral probiotics to your pets’ food once daily, you can improve the population of good bacteria in your pets’ mouths.

These beneficial bacteria – or probiotics – eat the same foods and populate the same areas of the mouth as harmful bacteria. When you give the beneficial bacteria the upper hand, they return the favor by pushing out the harmful bacteria. And with that, viola! Bye-bye bad breath.
