As humans, we’ve been taught the importance of daily brushing and flossing. You can’t fool your dentist, and those semi-annual checkups will quickly reveal the “tooth truth.”
Likewise, taking care of your pet’s teeth and gums helps to prevent dental disease and can also improve their overall health. Here are some tips on how to keep your furry kid’s smile bright and healthy.
• Brushing your pet’s teeth is the best way to reduce plaque and tartar buildup, prevent gum disease, and maintain fresh breath.
• Dental chews or treats can reduce plaque buildup between professional cleanings while providing your pet with something enjoyable they look forward to.
• Oral rinses and sprays help get rid of bad breath in pets without scrubbing the teeth whatsoever – perfect for those pups and kitties who won’t let you brush their teeth!
• Professional cleanings twice a year should be part of your routine pet care plan and will identify early on any oral problems.
