Tartar On Dogs' Teeth Can Be Deadly

Yes, believe it or not, dog teeth tartar can cause far more serious problems than simple bad breath and unsightly teeth. The real problems occur when the tartar is allowed to build up on the teeth and remain there for long periods. The plaque buildup allows a comfortable living environment for many forms of bacteria.

These problems with poor dental health can be exactly the same in humans. However, people usually are more proactive with their own teeth cleaning than they are with their dogs'. Therefore, unless the pet owner takes full responsibility for dog teeth cleaning on a regular basis, the dogs' dental health can rapidly deteriorate.

As the bacteria build up in the mouth, they can cause infections at the gum line. This in itself is not a life threatening condition of course. However, as this infection continues, bleeding gums can often result. Because there are high concentrations of germs nearby to the active and exposed blood flow in the gums, they can easily be transported to other areas of the body.

As the bacteria are moved by the dog's circulatory system, the harmful infection can be deposited into various organs of the canine's body. As these infectious events occur, serious injury can result to those organs as the germs begin to grow and multiply in them.

If left unchecked, the canine will undoubtedly suffer major consequences as the infections are allowed to move and multiply inside the pet's body.

The cure for this issue is to prevent the plaque from forming in the first place. The tartar can be removed in various ways. The most popular way is have the vet perform dog teeth scaling in his or her office. This is done in the office and while the animal is under general anesthetic. This process is highly effective, but it is also quite dangerous for some senior aged dogs. Plus, it is also quite expensive in many parts of the country.

A better alternative, although it does require effort on the owner's part, is to perform a routing dog teeth cleaning at home with all natural toothpastes and sprays which are designed specifically for removing tartar from canine teeth. These products can be purchased at numerous online sources for costs that are far lower than the scaling process performed by veterinarians in the doctors' offices. If performed on a regular basis, the procedure at home can be just as effective in promoting proper dog dental health.
