Poor dental health in our pets can lead to more than just smelly breath, it can actually lead to life threatening illnesses.

Periodontal disease can begin as basic gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) but can quickly become more detrimental as it can cause things like tooth root abscesses that can develop into bone infections and even become an infection that spreads throughout your pet’s body via the bloodstream. This can cause a compromised immune system and lead to longterm health issues like kidney disease, diabetes, and heart disease.

So what can you do to help save your pet from this?
