Are Your Pets’ Teeth Healthy and White?

Pets With Healthy Teeth Live Longer, Healthier Lives

Does your family pet have dirty, stained teeth? And what about their breath? Does it live up to the “dog breath” reputation? It’s not supposed to. Remember the sweet, almost fresh smell of puppy and kitten breath? Healthy pets have that fresh breath for their entire lives.

Bad Breath Means Something!

Just like their human family members, pets’ teeth are a good indicator of their overall health and longevity. This is why your veterinarian may have recommended that your pet have his teeth cleaned. That cleaning, of course is costly. And if your pet needs to be put under anesthetic to have his teeth cleaned, that adds a whole level of danger that goes beyond what you might expect.

Vets Agree – Oral Care Matters

The importance of good oral health in pets is clear. That’s why many veterinary associations, including American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), American Veterinary Dental Society (AVDS), Academy of Veterinary Dentistry, American Veterinary Dental College, Academy of Veterinary Dental Technicians, Veterinary Oral Health Council have joined forces to raise awareness of the importance of pet dental health by sponsoring National Dental Health Month in February.

According to the AVDS, 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats show signs of oral disease by age three, often indicated by bad breath, a change in eating or chewing habits, pawing at the face and mouth and depression. As an animal lover, I find those numbers more than a little disturbing.

“Oral disease is the most frequently diagnosed health problem for pets,” says veterinarian and AVMA President Dr. James Cook. “Twice-a-year checkups, including an oral health checkup, are important to ensure your pet is not in pain and is not suffering from serious oral health problems. Besides causing receding gums and tooth loss, bacteria in the mouth can enter the bloodstream, potentially infecting the heart, liver and kidneys, which can be potentially life threatening.

“Just as the public has come to realize that their own oral health is linked to their overall health, veterinarians want people to understand that dental health care is essential to maintaining the overall health and well-being of the family pet.”
