Dog Dental CareDog Dental Care...discover the benefits of Non-Anesthetic Teeth Cleaning for your pets! About three years ago Marley & I were at the vet when we came across some information on non-anesthetic teeth cleaning for pets. Similar to my experience with healthy pet food, I realized I was not paying proper attention to Marley’s dental health. I certainly have my own teeth cleaned twice a year, so why would I ignore having Marley’s cleaned as well? Of course I want to give her the best possible care and prolong her life; in doing some research I learned that being proactive and taking preventative measures such as brushing her teeth and having them professionally cleaned could add 3 to 5 years to her life and avoid costly bills due to periodontal disease. Today I brush Marley’s teeth at least 3 times a week and have them professionally cleaned twice a year. Prevent Dental Disease

Did you know 85% of dogs & cats over the age of 2 have periodontal (gum) disease? Gingivitis, fractured teeth, gum recession & even loss of teeth that can arise from untreated necessary dental care. Dental disease can not only cause oral pain and bad breath, the bacteria present can go deep into the gum tissue, into the root of the tooth and then into the blood stream. Bad breath can be an indicator to infection, which will lead to heart, liver & kidney failure.
The good news is with proper treatment you can easily prolong your loved one's life by 3 to 5 years. Non-electric sterilized scalars are used both above and below the gum line. Plaque and tartar are removed by cleaning the inner and outer surfaces of the teeth prior to rinsing and polishing.
