Tartar
Tartar in dogs, natural remedies for these. Dogs often have bad breath, everyone knows that! But why? It seems almost that it’s part of them so it’s common. This situation unfortunately demonstrates a serious problem of bacterial proliferation: the formation of tartar on their teeth that causes this characteristic odor sometimes nauseating. Unfortunately the disadvantages of this massive proliferation of bacteria do not stop with the smell. In addition to the pain felt by the animal, oral diseases, such as gingivitis, abscess, caries, losses of teeth are the consequences at the dental level. Non-treated these bacteria are transported by the blood to the kidneys, heart, lungs, animals, causing diseases that can put his life in danger.
But what is tartar?

During his meals food (especially wet) accumulate at the gum and teeth. In addition, bacteria present in the animal’s mouth agglutinent to their surface, forming the dental plaque. This plate should be removed as often as possible, at least 3 times a week as it thickens, other bacteria develop in its different layers which, thanks to saliva, end up harden to form the tartar. When it comes down to the gums, a significant inflammation occurs, the gums become red, swollen, painful, gingivitis. Without regular dental hygiene adequate all dogs are at risk, but some breeds of small dogs are more affected by this problem, such as shih-tzu, cocker, poodle, Beijing, Yorkshire, Chihuahua, and dwarf races, their Gueules being smaller and their teeth more glued, the debris of food accumulating more easily. A good quality dry food or even leather treats to chew, for example, can help control the formation of the plate and therefore tartar, but a routine with a good brushing of the teeth with brush and adapted tooth paste are Tools essential to do this.
An insidious and dangerous evil
The accumulation of tartar is often not visible in its infancy, the behind teeth being affected first. We do not notice the color changes immediately
From these teeth to their base: orange, yellow, ocher, brown, gray, characteristic colors of a plate start and tartar formation. Unfortunately when the tartar extends under the gingiva, the inflammation produced makes it inflate, it takes off from the tooth, the pus can occur, even more bacteria accumulates and proliferate and this gingivitis is the starting point of Other even more serious periodontal diseases: bone destruction, decryption, loss of one or more teeth. It is therefore recommended to examine the inside of the mouth of his dog regularly even if his teeth ahead are healthy. The veterinarian may also determine the presence or absence of a periodontal disease and proceed, where appropriate, to a descaling of the teeth affected or to their extraction if necessary. This extreme intervention may be necessary to prevent your pet from developing heart disease, renal, respiratory or liver diseases that are too often associated with this oral degradation due to the anarchic accumulation of bacteria causing tartar after their migration into their blood system..
