Because it matters

Why it mattersMost pet owners are surprised to learn how common periodontal disease is. In fact, by the age of three, most pets show signs of the disease. Periodontal disease is a progressive condition, in which plaque slowly turns into tartar, and spreads below the gumline. Here, it fosters the growth of harmful bacteria, and erodes the teeth's supporting structures. This can be quite painful for a pet - though they can't tell us! The bacteria can make its way to your dog or cat's bloodstream, where it can begin to harm internal organs. The veterinary industry is gaining a clearer understanding of the importance of dentistry, and this is why there are beginning to be clear links between periodontal disease and organ disease, and even a pet's longevity.
