from a Colorado Veterinary Medical Association article:

dog_dental_care_frosted.jpgIt is estimated that 80 percent of people brush their teeth every day, but far fewer pet owners do the same for their pets. Pet Dental Health Month, celebrated every February, teaches pet owners proper dental hygiene is equally as important for pets.


"Most people have no idea that dental health is so important to their pets, and that's why Pet Dental Health Month is such a great idea," explains Dr. Larry Corry, president of the AVMA (American Veterinary Medical Association). "In fact, veterinarians report that periodontal disease is the most commonly diagnosed problem in dogs and cats. This can lead to painful infections of the mouth, and in severe cases these infections can spread and become life-threatening conditions. During Pet Dental Health Month, the AVMA is encouraging you to regularly brush your pet's teeth and regularly see your veterinarian for checkups."

The AVMA, a sponsor of Pet Dental Health Month, offers an informative video giving step-by-step instructions on how to brush your pets' teeth. The Pet Dental Month website, www.petdental.com, includes tips from a veterinary expert on pet dental health, Dr. Brook Niemiec, which can be helpful in learning all about this important topic.

"Periodontal disease, an infection of the gums, is incredibly common in pets, and it can be quite serious," explains Dr. Niemiec, a board certified veterinary dental specialist. "It's estimated that by the age of two, 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats have some form of periodontal disease. Periodontal infections have been linked to diabetes, heart attacks, strokes, kidney disease and other life threatening disorders."

Pet Dental Health Month is a great time to remind you that the best way to prevent periodontal disease is by brushing your pets' teeth and bringing them in for regular exams.
