According to the American Veterinary Dentistry Academy, 80% of dogs over three years old have the same tooth and gum disease. If you don't treat it in time, these problems can lead to bad breath, swollen gums, bleeding, difficulty eating, and tooth loss. If you don’t treat it for a long time, as the bacteria spread from the mouth to the body, your dog will have more serious health problems, such as liver disease, heart disease and kidney disease.
Professional veterinarian and writer, Dr. Elizabeth Cohen said, “Some dogs are born to have dental problems, but most of the dogs I have seen have dental problems because their owners haven’t taken precautions. Therefore, these dogs have no way but to do an expensive oral cleaning, and the cleaning operation has to be done under anesthesia.” At the same time, she said, “It’s not too much trouble to brush your dog, and it’s not too scary either. Your dog’s health depends largely on how much you value your dog's health and how to choose a correct solution. Dental care is an crucial part of it.”
