Periodontal disease is increasingly a reason for visiting a veterinarian.  The primary cause is dental plaque, which is also the first stage in the formation of tartar.  Saliva combined with growing bacteria results in dental plaque, a thin film that constantly forms on the teeth.

If left untreated, serious complications may occur including tooth loosening, dental abscess or even secondary infection of other organs.  It is therefore crucial to implement dental measures as soon as first signs are observed.

Dental health can be achieved through annual or semi-annual dental treatments and daily brushing.  But many clients are unable to brush their pet's teeth daily.  Dental diets are a convenient and effective way to reduce the formation of plaque and tartar.
