- Proper dental care can prevent other health problems that can accompany dental disease. Regular brushing of your dog’s teeth can help prevent oral diseases that can spread bacteria to other parts of their body. Keeping up with cleanings and at home brushing is also much more affordable than dealing with the diseases that can result from inadequate care!
- Healthy teeth = better breath.
- Improved chance of keeping teeth for a longer duration—pets without proper dental care can painfully lose teeth!
- Teeth wear out! Your pets are tough on their teeth. Dogs commonly fracture teeth by chewing on rocks, cage doors, chain link fences and hard toys.
- Pets are good at hiding pain. You might not know your pet has a serious dental problem until it is in an advanced stage.
