Dental diseases, such as periodontal disease, can cause significant pain and discomfort for dogs. This can lead to difficulty eating and overall reduced quality of life.
Healthy teeth and gums are essential for dogs to chew their food properly. Dental problems can lead to difficulty in chewing, which can result in poor nutrition and weight loss.
Advanced dental disease can cause teeth to loosen and fall out. This not only affects the dog's ability to eat but can also lead to further health complications.
While bad breath can be a nuisance, it is often a sign of underlying dental problems that need to be addressed.
As importantly, poor dental health in dogs has been linked to several serious systemic diseases:
The most common dental problem in dogs is periodontal disease, an infection of the tissues that hold the teeth in place. Bacteria from the mouth can enter the bloodstream and affect other organs, leading to systemic health issues.
There is a well-documented link between periodontal disease and heart disease in dogs. Bacteria from the mouth can enter the bloodstream and attach to the dogs heart valves, causing endocarditis, an infection of the heart.
The bacteria from periodontal disease can also affect the kidneys. Chronic kidney disease can develop from long-term exposure to these bacteria, as they enter the bloodstream and cause inflammation, leading to kidney damage and reduced function over time.
The liver is another organ that can be affected by the spread of oral bacteria. This can lead to liver infections and inflammation, which can impact the dog’s overall health and metabolism, causing a range of systemic issues and complicating treatment options.
Dogs with dental disease are more likely to develop diabetes. Conversely, diabetes can worsen dental issues, creating a vicious cycle. Poor oral health can make it more difficult to manage blood sugar levels, which further complicates diabetes management and overall health.
Infected teeth and gums can lead to the inhalation of bacteria, which may cause serious respiratory infections such as pneumonia. This can result in severe health complications and worsen the overall well-being of the dog, requiring prompt medical attention.
By maintaining good dental hygiene, you can help prevent not only dental diseases but also the broader health issues that can arise from poor oral health.
