1. Bacterial and tartar plate accumulation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What happens?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Food remains + bacteria form a yellowish film<\/strong> (plate).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • If not removed, it turns Tartarus<\/strong> (calcification that only comes out in the vet).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Visible signs:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    \ud83e\uddb7 Yellow or brown teeth
    \ud83d\ude37 Bad strong breath<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    2. Periodontal disease (silent threat)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    What is it?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Inflammation of the gums that can destroy the bones that support the teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Consequences:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    \ud83e\ude78 Gingivitis<\/strong> (Red, swollen and bleeding gums)
    \ud83e\uddb4 Tooth loss<\/strong> (The maxillary bone deteriorates)
    \ud83d\udc94 Chronic pain<\/strong> (Many dogs stop eating without the tutor)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Alarming data:<\/strong> 90% of dogs over 5 years old have some degree of periodontal disease!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    3. Infections that spread throughout the body<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Bacteria of the mouth enter the bloodstream and affect:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u2764\ufe0f Heart<\/strong> (bacterial endocarditis)
    \ud83e\udde0 Liver and kidneys<\/strong> (overloaded by toxins)
    \ud83e\uddb4 Articulations<\/strong> (infectious arthritis)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Real cases:<\/strong> Dogs that had to extract several teeth by widespread infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    4. Loss of teeth and difficulty in feeding<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    How does it happen?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Tartar weakens dental roots \u2192 teeth fall.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Pain When chewing \u2192 the dog refuses food or swallows without grinding.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Result:<\/strong>
      \ud83c\udf57 Mal nutrition (cannot eat hard foods)
      \ud83c\udfe5 Need for special feed or even gastric probe in severe cases<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n\n\n\n

      5. High veterinary costs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Canine dental procedures are expensive:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \ud83d\udcb0 Ultrasound cleaning:<\/strong> R$ 500 - R$ 1.500
      \ud83e\uddb7 Tooth extraction:<\/strong> R$ 200 - R$ 800 By Tooth
      \ud83c\udfe5 Maxillary surgeries:<\/strong> Until R$ 3,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Prevention is 10x cheaper than treatment!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n\n\n\n

      How to brush your dog's teeth correctly?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Step by step:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
