Believe it or not, your pet’s teeth and gums should not be the only concern when it comes to the state of your pet’s mouth. When the mouth and teeth begin to coat with bacteria, plaque forms. When that plaque calcifies, tartar develops. Once tartar begins to build, it leads to gum irritation, which allows for the perfect environment for bacteria to thrive.

The inflamed gums will pull away from the teeth, creating pockets that trap more bacteria and food particles. The gums will bleed, the roots of the teeth may become exposed, teeth may become loose, and your pet may feel pain when eating. If the bacteria enter the bloodstream, they can create problems for organs such as the heart, liver, and kidneys.
