Periodontal disease starts with plaque, bacteria, and food debris. It builds up over time on the surface of the tooth and can also go under the gum line. Toxins building up and released by the bacteria can cause inflammatory reactions and can cause tissue and bone destruction. If the bacteria enters the blood stream, the pet’s liver, heart, and kidneys can be affected. Research shows that 85% of adult pets need dental care.
