Pet owners should know that a simple three step program can keep their pets' mouths healthier. The three steps include taking their pet to your veterinarian for a dental check, and dental cleaning if indicated. Establishing a home care routine of brushing or using special products to reduce dental tartar, such as Hill's T/D diet, is step two. The last step includes regular veterinary checkups because plaque builds up quickly and some pets require more frequent dental care.

Most dental diseases can be controlled or even eliminated with proper treatment by veterinarians and home care by owners. Dog and cats over the age of one should be routinely checked for dental disease. Good preventive oral care is an important part of the care you give to your pet. Time spent on preventive care will help keep your pet healthier, and it strengthens the human-pet bond.

Dental problems may cause your pet to suffer from:
  • Prolonged pain
  • Tooth loss
  • Chronic infections
  • Lowered resistance
  • Possible heart, liver and kidney disease
Look for:
  • Bad breath
  • Drooling
  • Yellow or brown discolorations on teeth
  • Decreased appetite
