Periodontal disease and gingivitis disease occurs in dogs and cats. Gingivitis causes the formation and survival of plaque on tooth surfaces. If left untreated, can turn into periodontal disease, periodontal ligament that gum, cement and alveolar bone. Periodontal disease associated with toothache, bad breath, ulcers, and loss of alveolar bone and teeth. The infection is usually accompanied by a periodontal disease can also cause damage to other organs of the body.
Although it is not proved a causal link directly associated with periodontal disease contributes to kidney-related diseases of the cardiovascular system, lungs and immune system. Because periodontal disease is a common disease, and the evil dogs and cats, recent research has focused on nutrition and diet are risk factors for the development and potential as a means of progress in reducing gingivitis, periodontal disease prevention.
Types of dental problems in dogs and cats is somewhat different from those commonly in people. Due to the severity of the slope of their teeth, dogs and cats are not susceptible to the formation of cavities (eg, oral). In dogs, demineralization of the teeth is not common due to the nature of the alkaline saliva. Females, by contrast, produce saliva to more acidic pH, demineralization of teeth can be found in this species. In general, three major dental problems seen in dogs and cats maodor mouth, gingivitis, periodontal disease. Odotonclastic resorptive lesions in cats is also associated with gingivitis and periodontal disease is possible.
Periodontal disease is one of the most common diseases caused by a small animal practice seen, and this is the most common form of oral disorders. It is in domestic animals, at least 70 years and is now considered a global problem. For example, gingivitis and heavy rains to find the positive in 95% of dog-colonial studies, 2 years, the study of more than 30 years ago. Early studies showed moderate to severe periodontal disease in 75% of dogs, opening from 4 to 8 years. In recent studies, 63 older dog a report that almost all of them have gingivitis and 53% had signs of periodontitis.
