Over 80% of dogs & cats show signs of dental disease by age 3.
4 Ways to Protect Your Pet from Painful Gingivitis
Gingivitis causes painful gums, tooth loss, and can lead to serious infections if left untreated. Here’s how to protect your pet’s teeth and prevent long-term damage:
1. Routine Vet Checkups 🩺
Annual dental exams allow your vet to spot tartar buildup, gum inflammation, or hidden tooth infections before they cause serious pain.
2. Bones—But With Caution 🦴
Bones can help scrape plaque off your pet’s teeth, but hard bones can also fracture teeth or cut gums if your dog chews too aggressively.
✅ Choose soft, raw bones under vet guidance.
❌ Avoid cooked bones, which can splinter and cause injury.
3. Brushing—But Don’t Brush Too Hard
Brushing is a classic solution, but brushing too hard can actually damage your pet’s gums and cause pain or bleeding.
✅ Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and pet-safe toothpaste.
❌ Avoid human toothpaste—it contains ingredients that can be toxic to pets.
😖 If your pet fights brushing, it may be time for a better option…
