Untreated dental disease not only can lead to tooth loss, pain, and abscess, but it can also create health problems with the major organs of the body, like the heart and liver.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The great news is that you can help protect your best friend with at home pet dental care. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bowmanvet.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your team at Bowman Veterinary Hospital<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is here with some tips to keep that beautiful smile healthy!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brushing Your Pet\u2019s Teeth<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regular tooth brushing is a key part of good dental care for your pet.<\/span> However<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> many pet owners are reluctant to do this. It\u2019s actually an easy process and can keep your pet from having the plaque and tartar that lead to periodontal disease! Follow these easy steps to brushing your pet\u2019s teeth with ease.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure you have the right toothbrush and paste that is designed for your pet\u2019s breed and size.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find a bright area and have your pet seated in front of you. Get them used to having their mouths touched by rubbing the muzzle, face, and then gently the gums and teeth using a toothbrush or finger brush.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start by opening your pet\u2019s lip over the front teeth and gently brushing the teeth in an up and down, then side to side motion. As your pet gets used to this, advance to the back of the teeth and then the insides. Inspect your pet\u2019s mouth for signs of problems, such as redness, bleeding, broken teeth, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reward your pet with a small treat and praise.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While we recommend brushing your pet\u2019s teeth daily, this may not always be feasible. Aim for a minimum of a few times per week to ensure good dental health.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you notice any problems with your pet\u2019s gums, teeth, or mouth, schedule an appointment with us for a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bowmanvet.com\/veterinary-services\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">thorough examination<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other Ideas for At-Home Pet Dental Care<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many pet owners will ask if dental chews can replace tooth brushing. Unfortunately, not<\/span>. Dental chews<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> do not <\/span>clean their teeth like brushing. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be mindful of the types of dental chews you choose. The American Veterinary Dental Council has a list of <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vohc.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">approved dental chews<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (look for the seal before purchasing). Avoid bones and other animal products as these can cause broken teeth and the risk of ingesting fragmented bones.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure you are feeding your pet a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bowmanvet.com\/blog\/kibble-questions-understanding-pet-nutrition\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nutritious diet<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as recommended\u00a0 by your veterinarian.
