Summary

• There are evidences from the American Veterinary
  Dental College that claim pets are inclined to
  get oral diseases at a very young age of about 3
  years. Hence, it is very important to have a good
  dental care regiment for them early on.  There
  are lots of chew toys which are available to
  clean the teeth of your pets, but if you use
  good, old-fashioned tooth brushing it will save a
  lot of time and money. Dental problems can lead
  to serious infections and can even lead to heart,
  kidney or liver diseases.
• There are certain symptoms that suggest your pet
  is going through a dental problem. Let us look at
  some of these symptoms
• Bad breath
• Cysts under the tongue
• Excessive drooling
• Inflamed gums
• Loose teeth
• Tumors in the gums

Dental problems
1 - Periodontal Disease

• Periodontal disease is one of the most common
  dental care problems faced by pets. But it is
  entirely preventable.
• This disease starts when bacteria in the mouth
  of your pet forms a substance known as plaque
  that attaches to the tooths surface. As time
  passes the saliva hardens the plaque into tartar
  that firmly attaches to the teeth.
• As per American Veterinary Dental Society, 80
  of dogs and 70 of cats showcase the signs of
  oral disease with periodontal disease which is
  most common in smaller breeds of pets.
• If your pets show any of the symptoms mentioned
  above immediately take them to the doctor.

2 - Gingivitis

• Gingivitis is another common problem that brings
  a rough time for pets. The gums of the pet become
  inflated and appear to be reddening. This results
  into bad breath with red and inflamed gums.
• If you find any of these symptoms in your pet,
  rush to a veterinary physician immediately.

3 - Caries

• Caries also called as tooth decay, caries or
  cavities is the breakdown of teeth as a result of
  the high amount of bacterial presence in the
  mouth. The symptoms of this disease include pain
  and difficulty in eating. This disease is rarely
  found in dogs.

3 - Feline odontoclastic resorption lesions
A resorption lesion is a dental deformity that is
formed at the neck of the cat or at the bottom of
the tooth. They are like cavities. They are
rarely found in dogs, but are quite common in
cats. If you find that your cat is suffering from
Feline odontoclastic resorption lesions take them
to the doctor immediately.
4 - Oral cancers
Oral cancers are head and neck cancers, which
result in swellings/thickenings, lumps or bumps,
rough spots/crusts/ or eroded areas of the lips,
gums or other parts of the mouth. This disease
can affect both dogs and cats. If they are not
found at early stages, it can be very fatal for
pets. If you see any of the symptoms mentioned
above rush to a vet immediately and get your pet
treated.

Final Word
In order to avoid these diseases, it is very
important for you as a pet-parent to take care of
oral hygiene of your pet. The very first thing
that can be done to ensure that your pet does not
get the dental care disease is by providing them
the right food. By right food we mean a
well-balanced, protein rich diet. Dry food is
highly recommended for such pets since it does
not stick to the teeth of the pet. Your
veterinary physician would be the best person to
help you select the right food for your pet. The
next thing that can be done is to provide
chewable treats to your pet so that they have
adequate exercise of their teeth. Establish
brushing regime of your pet. Although it would be
difficult in the beginning after a period of time
it will become quite easy and would enhance the
overall health of your pet. Conduct a
regular dental care check-up of your pet so that
their oral health is maintained. If you find
anything wrong with their teeth do not hesitate
in contacting the vet immediately.
