Top 5 Dental Problems in Pets
2

• 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.

Let us now look at some of the common dental care
problems in pets

• 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.

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

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
