Oral health is an essential part of your pet's overall well-being. A common problem that is often overlooked is tartar. Not only can it cause bad breath, but it can also lead to more serious problems such as gum disease, infection and, in the worst cases, tooth loss. The formation of tartar results from the hardening of plaque that accumulates on the teeth and is influenced by factors such as inadequate oral hygiene, diet and the age of the pet.

 

Tartar and its negative effects

Tartar is not just an aesthetic problem. It can lead to inflammation of the gums (gingivitis), pain when chewing and ultimately to tooth loss. What is particularly worrying is that tartar can serve as a breeding ground for bacteria that can cause serious health problems.

 

Solutions for reducing tartar

Reducing tartar in pets requires a multidimensional approach:

1. Professional teeth cleaning by a veterinarian: This is often the first step in removing existing tartar. It is a safe and effective way to improve dental health immediately.

2. Ultrasonic toothbrush from emmi-pet: For daily dental care at home, our ultrasonic toothbrush offers gentle and thorough cleaning of the teeth and gums to reduce plaque build-up and harmful bacteria.

3. emmi-pet Happy DENT tooth and mouth spray: As a supplement to mechanical cleaning, the spray helps to freshen breath and prevent tartar build-up.

4. Eating healthily: Special diets and chewables can also help to reduce plaque and tartar by promoting mechanical cleaning of the teeth during chewing.

 

Preventive measures to reduce tartar

The prevention of tartar begins with a comprehensive oral hygiene routine and a conscious diet:

• Regular use of the ultrasonic toothbrush: Daily cleaning with an Ultrasonic toothbrush can effectively reduce plaque before it can turn into tartar. The gentle technique is particularly beneficial for pets that dislike conventional brushing.

• Use of dental spray: The Happy DENT dentalspray  is an excellent addition to mechanical cleaning. It not only provides fresh breath, but also actively supports the prevention of tartar.

• A balanced diet: A diet that is low in sugar and high in fiber promotes healthy teeth and reduces the risk of tartar formation. Special diets and chewing articles can also support the mechanical cleaning of the teeth.

• Regular check-ups at the vet: Comprehensive examinations of your pet's oral health should be part of regular visits to the vet. The vet can identify problems at an early stage and recommend appropriate measures.
