The Hidden Danger in Your Dog’s Mouth: Periodontal Disease Explained. Periodontal disease is one of the most common but overlooked health issues in dogs. By age 3, over 80% of dogs show signs of gum disease, which can lead to pain, tooth loss, and even organ damage if left untreated. What Causes Periodontal Disease? Plaque and tartar buildup create the perfect environment for bacteria to thrive, leading to gum inflammation (gingivitis) and eventually infection that damages the bone and tissue supporting the teeth. Small breed dogs are especially at risk due to their crowded teeth. Signs to Watch For: • Bad breath (not just normal dog breath!) • Red, swollen gums • Difficulty eating or chewing on one side • Loose or missing teeth • Excessive drooling or pawing at the mouth Prevention is Key! • Daily tooth brushing with dog-safe toothpaste • Routine veterinary dental cleanings • Dental chews and toys to help reduce plaque buildup Left untreated, periodontal disease doesn’t just affect the mouth—it can spread bacteria to the heart, liver, and kidneys, leading to serious health complications. #VeterinaryMedicine #drtom #veterinarian #veterinariansoftiktok #fyp #vetmed #patienceformypatients #dog #dogsoftiktok #dogoftheday @SCAS
