Gum disease in the old dog

CASE 2. 14-year-old miniature bull terrier. Seizures due to painful mouth.
--------------------
Plaque = soft film made of saliva, mucus, bacteria and food.
Tartar = Hard substance made of calcium and phosphorus. Attracts more plaque. Lead to gum diseases, gingivitis and halitosis. If not checked, will lead to painful periodontal disease.
-------------
Cats
1. Need dental scaling at 3 -4 years of age.
2. Tooth brush for dogs
2. Feline dental treats. Mechanically scrape the deposits from the teeth or chemically (anti-calcium in the saliva) prevent calcium and the resulting tartar from developing on the tooth.
Try different products and see which the cat likes and spend the longest time chewing.
3. Dental water additives. Dental rinses squirt direct onto the tooth. Beneficial enzymes that reduce odour-causing microbes and deter plaque formation.
4. Food additives that support dental care. They are seasweed-based products that go into the blood stream to the cat's saliva to prevent plaque formation and soften existing tartar.
