Did you know 80 percent of dogs show signs of oral disease by the time they are three years old. Dental and gum disease is the number one health problem diagnosed by veterinarians. If you do not take proper care of your dogs teeth food particles, bacteria, and other debris can build up and harden on the surface of the teeth and gum line, forming plaque. As bacteria grows inside the mouth, the plaque turns into tartar. If not treated, plaque and tartar build-up can result in gingivitis, an inflammation of the gums. An even worse situation would result in periodontal disease which can cause pain, lead to infection, and even tooth loss. Other severe infections can complicate a dog' heart, liver, or kidneys.

To prevent these infections and complications veterinarians suggest you develop a dental care routine at home, removing plaque regularly. Adding Fun n Floss to your at home routine will maintain your dog's dental care between veterinary visits.
