Methods For Removing Tartar From A Dog's Teeth

These days there are different options for
maintaining canine oral health. There are
numerous products on the market that can be
easily found and used to remove plaque and
tartar build-up. This is because dog owners have
sought a method of taking care of their pets'
teeth themselves rather than pay the high cost
of professional periodontal care. Anesthesia is
potentially dangerous too. Naturopathic
practitioners and biochemists whose main concern
is the nutrition and health of our pets have come
up with oral sprays and gels that not only get
rid of harmful bacteria, but also break down the
existing plaque and prevent new tartar build-up
from forming. Pet owners should, however, be
very careful when thinking about having
anestheisa used for dog teeth cleaning at the
vet's office.

The ingredients in these sprays and gels include
grapeseed extract, thyme oil and neem oil. The
grapeseed extract, or GSE, provides nearly 100%
poly phenols which fights strongly with
bacterial strains. Also, GSE is able to
penetrate the bio film surrounding the bacteria.
Both sprays and gels work together with dogs'
saliva and have proved to be ideal products with
remarkable affects on dogs' teeth when used
consistently.

In severe cases of periodontal disease it is
best to follow your veterinarian's advice, and
it is suggested that a diagnosis be made before
administering home made remedies.

Whether you choose the spray or the gel for dog
tooth brushing depends on whatever is most
comfortable for you to use. The spray is quicker
but your dog may be upset by the noise it makes.
The gel can be placed on a finger and swiped
quickly along the gum-line, or else with a
toothbrush.

Cleaning dog teeth with a toothbrush can take
some time to master, especially if he is an
older dog. Lots of patience and praise should be
given. Practice with a little gel on your finger
and allow him to lick it off. Repeat this every
day for a few days until you feel he is ready
for the toothbrush. Clean one tooth at a time,
stop, praise and repeat. Some dogs are just
resistant to this new experience but rather than
give up and quit, use your finger with the gel
and be consistent. This should be fun and
beneficial for you both. Soon, your best friend
will begin to enjoy something new you can do
together.

Periodontal disease affects most dogs as they
get older and is progressive. The choice is
either to wait until our loved ones are in pain
with bleeding gums, loose teeth and an expensive
course of treatment, or gently clean his teeth at
home with highly recommended products that are
beneficial in reducing plaque and maintaining
healthy gums and teeth for life.

Dog and cat teeth cleaning is a vital aspect to
learn when owning pets. Dog dental care is too
often neglected by canine and feline owners.
