Cleaning Teeth

Clean teeth make a big difference in your pet´s oral health. The key to getting your pet to tolerate having his teeth brushed is to do it in small steps over time and to be patient and encouraging. Try to brush several times a week with a child´s toothbrush or a fingertip brush and a toothpaste designed for pets. Regular cleanings under anesthesia by your vet is important to address problems at the root line. Left unchecked, plaque buildup on teeth can ultimately cause infections that can lead to tooth loss, make eating painful, and puts your pet's internal organs (especially the heart) under pressure, therefore causing illness and premature aging.
