Wysong DentaTreat At least 80% of dogs and 60% of cats have gingivitis, periodontitis, or tooth decay. Tooth health is dependant upon the outcome of a constant battle taking place in the mouth between micro-organisms, diet, minerals, tooth morphology, salivary flow, and acid-base balance. The Problem Proper management of pet health begins with understanding the causes of potential problems. When certain foods are deposited on teeth, a microenvironment is created conducive to the formation of calculus, or plaque as it is also known. Sugars (carbohydrates) within plaque create acids that strip calcium and phosphorus from the tooth. This softens the tooth, allowing for development of cavities (dental caries). Plaque at the gum-tooth interface encourages bacterial growth, inflammation, gum recession (periodontitis), alveolar bone disintegration and tooth loss. Chronic infection in the mouth can also systemically seed infection elsewhere in the body including kidneys, blood vessels, heart and joints. Prevention The basis of prevention is good nutrition. Modern pet food emphasis on processed, fractionated, refined, dead, devitalized, carbohydrate-based foods takes its toll on health in many ways. Researchers have found that cooked starches, which are major components of processed pet foods, remain longer in the mouth, increasing the amount of time cariogenic bacteria can feed on them. Such foods also easily create sticky mouth residue regardless of their crunchy ?dental preventive? design.
