By taking a proactive approach to your dog\u2019s dental health, you can help fight against many common dental health issues like bad breath, plaque and tartar build-up, and periodontal disease. Here are some tips on how you can keep your dog\u2019s teeth in good condition. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><u><b>Prevent your Dog From Having Bad Breath<\/b><\/u><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', serif;\">Most dogs with bad breath usually have poor dental care. Regular cleaning of your dog\u2019s teeth can help remove food particles that are stuck in between your dog\u2019s teeth and gums and can also prevent the odor from developing.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><u><b>Remove Tartar and Plaque Buildup<\/b><\/u><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', serif;\">Brushing your dog\u2019s teeth regularly removes tartar and plaque. A tartar build-up if not cleaned from time to time can cause blockages that affect other organs and joints.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', serif;\">Brushing regularly can help prevent arthritis, heart disease, and various other complications. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><u><b>Prevent Periodontal Disease<\/b><\/u><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', serif;\">Periodontal disease is one of the most prominent diseases to affect dogs. Brushing your teeth every day stimulates your gums and cleans your tooth. It benefits your dog\u2019s teeth in the same manner. Regular brushing is the best possible way to ensure that your dog has healthy teeth well into the adult years. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><u><b>Reduce Damage to Your Dog\u2019s Internal Organs<\/b><\/u><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', serif;\">Toxins from periodontal and other oral diseases can damage the heart, kidneys, and liver which filter the blood if they are absorbed into your dog\u2019s bloodstream. For this reason, regular brushing is crucial to prevent bacteria in your dog\u2019s mouth from infecting and fatally damaging the internal organs. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><u><b>Regular Checkups<\/b><\/u><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', serif;\">Good oral care just isn\u2019t limited to tooth brushing. It should include regular dental examinations including X-rays and a professional cleaning under general anesthesia. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', serif;\">It\u2019s true that all dogs don\u2019t want to have their teeth brushed. But don\u2019t give up too soon. About 80% of dogs will allow you to brush their teeth. That\u2019s if you start gradually and make it a fun activity.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brushing your dog\u2019s teeth may be a task for you but it is an important activity that will keep your dog healthy.
