If left untreated tartar can lead to periodontal disease, secondary infection and eventually bone loss and tooth loss.

They can be used in conjunction with brushing. The biscuit size, shape and texture is formulated to provide an increased abrasive action, in comparison to standard dry diets, which helps to reduce tartar formation. Additionally, these diets contain a molecule (pentasodium triphosphate) that reduces the formation of tartar on the tooth\u2019s surface. \n<br><br>\nJust as important as good hygiene is recognising signs of disease. As you spend time caring for your pet\u2019s mouth, you become familiar with \u201cwhat is normal\u201d making abnormalities much easier to spot. Look out for any loose or discoloured teeth (grey or purple colour to the crown).

It is these bacteria that form the plaque which goes on to damage teeth and gums. Chlorhexidine also has a residual effect which continues to fight bacteria for 18 hours after application. Gel products are beneficial in pets that suffer from or are likely to develop gum disease and can also be beneficial in cats where brushing is not tolerated as they can be applied with a cotton bud and may allow progression to a toothbrush. Oral rinses are especially useful if gums are too sore to brush, especially immediately after a dental treatment. Both gels and oral rinses are to be used on a daily basis. Specific instructions will be given for individual pets, however usually a small volume (1 &#8211; \u00a05mls) is flushed into the mouth with a syringe twice daily.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-736adb1 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"736adb1\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-5d061ae\" data-id=\"5d061ae\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-603b669 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"603b669\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-b8e6e30\" data-id=\"b8e6e30\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-24cb31f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"24cb31f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\tDental Chews\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-90da981 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"90da981\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\tDental chews may help to reduce plaque accumulation and tartar formation on teeth, and pets love the taste, which is reason enough to give them.
