Preventive Care |
| As easy as it is
for your pet to get periodontal infection, it's just as easy for you to
prevent it. The fist step is brushing you pet's teeth on a regular basis
to reduce plaque buildup and gingivitis. You should use a special
toothbrush and toothpaste designed for you pet.
If your pet displays any of
these symptoms, serious periodontal diseases may be present.
