Oral Health Support for Pets

Oral health is vital for pets, affecting not only their teeth and gums but also their overall health and quality of life. Dental disease is one of the most common health issues seen in pets, yet it is also highly preventable. In this blog, we’ll explore the common causes and symptoms of oral health issues in pets, along with ways to support their oral health for lasting wellness.

Common Causes of Oral Health Issues in Pets

  • Plaque and Tartar Buildup: Over time, food particles and bacteria form plaque on your pet’s teeth. If not removed, plaque hardens into tartar, which can irritate the gums and lead to infections.
  • Poor Diet: Diets high in soft foods or treats with excessive sugars can promote bacterial growth, contributing to tooth decay and gum disease.
  • Lack of Oral Hygiene: Pets, like humans, benefit from regular teeth cleaning. Without it, harmful bacteria thrive, leading to gingivitis and other dental issues.
  • Age: As pets age, they become more susceptible to periodontal disease, especially if dental care was not prioritized earlier in life.
  • Genetics: Some breeds are more prone to dental issues than others. Small dog breeds, for example, often have overcrowded teeth, making them more susceptible to tartar buildup and gum disease.

Common Symptoms of Oral Health Issues in Pets

  • Bad Breath: Persistent bad breath is often one of the first signs of dental issues, signaling bacterial buildup.
  • Red or Swollen Gums: Gum inflammation, or gingivitis, can cause redness and swelling, indicating an early stage of periodontal disease.
  • Difficulty Eating or Dropping Food: If a pet has pain or discomfort while eating, they may drop food, avoid eating, or chew on only one side of their mouth.
  • Pawing at the Mouth: Pets may paw at their mouth if they are experiencing dental pain or discomfort.
  • Loose or Missing Teeth: Advanced dental disease can cause teeth to loosen or fall out, significantly impacting your pet's quality of life.

Relief and Support for Your Pet’s Oral Health

  • Daily Dental Care: Brushing your pet's teeth daily, or at least a few times a week, can greatly reduce plaque and tartar buildup. Pet-specific toothbrushes and toothpaste are gentle on their gums and safe to swallow.
  • Dental Chews and Toys: Many dental chews and toys are designed to clean your pet’s teeth as they chew, reducing plaque and stimulating their gums. Look for products that are approved by veterinary dental associations.
  • A Balanced Diet: Feeding your pet a balanced diet with limited sugars and additives supports a healthier mouth. Some diets are formulated specifically to reduce plaque buildup.
  • Regular Vet Check-Ups: Schedule regular dental exams with your vet. Professional cleanings can address tartar and plaque buildup that is difficult to remove at home.
  • Oral Health Supplements: Supplements, such as Dr. Ruth Roberts’ Oral Health Support Protocol, can boost oral health by promoting a healthy microbiome in your pet's mouth, reducing bacterial buildup, and supporting gum health.
