Preventative Pet Dental Health Care

(Dr. Jay Mawhinney). Submitted on Mon, 22 Aug 2011

Preventative pet health care for your pet's teeth and gums is extremely important. Brush daily with a pet tooth paste and pet tooth brush like that in the C.E.T. Oral Hygiene Kit and offer daily oral hygiene chews to help reduce dental plaque and tartar and subsequent gum disease. See your veterinarian at least once annually for a thorough exam including an oral exam.



Dental disease in your pet effects the overall dog health and cat health. Infected teeth and gums seed bacteria to the circulation every time the dog or cat chews. These bacteria can and will damage the heart, liver and kidneys especially. Keep up on your pets health care with annual wellness exams and timely dental prophylaxis, before the teeth become abscessed and the gums become infected. Brush your pet's teeth daily and give rawhide or veggie chews like CET Veggie Dent.

Really, brushing your dog's or cat's teeth can be fun and a bonding time between you and your pet. To start this great preventative pet health care activity you first get a pet tooth paste made to swallow and continue to clean after the brushing is done and a finger brush or pet tooth brush shaped for use in dogs and cats like those contained in the C.E.T. Oral Hygiene Kits. Always do the brushing when there is a quiet time for grooming or petting and put a small amount of the tooth paste on the finger brush and at first gently massage the outer gums. The first few times don't try to brush for long, just get your pet used to the feel and taste. Over a week or two, increase the time and go over all of the teeth. Eventually you may be able to also brush the inner surfaces. The pet tooth brushes with longer handles will be the best brush for most dogs and some cats but the finger brush is very good. Enjoy the process and love your pet.
