Introduction
Over 80% of pets show signs of dental disease by age 3. Left untreated, it can lead to heart and kidney issues. Here’s your roadmap to healthier teeth and gums.

At-Home Care

  • Brushing: Use pet-safe toothpaste 3x/week. Focus on outer surfaces.
  • Dental Chews: Look for VOHC-approved products (e.g., Greenies).
  • Water Additives: Reduce plaque with enzymatic formulas.

Veterinary Interventions

  • Annual Cleanings: Anesthesia-free options are risky; trust licensed vets.
  • Oral X-rays: Detect hidden issues like root abscesses.

Signs of Trouble:

  • Bad breath, red gums, or difficulty chewing.
