Buccaclean Dental Gel - 30ml

950609

£13.67 (inc. VAT)

Buccaclean Dental Gel contains specific active ingredients that target the root causes of dental problems in pets. The gel works by breaking down and softening plaque and tartar, making it easier to remove through regular brushing or natural chewing. Additionally, the gel’s formula helps reduce the growth of harmful bacteria in the mouth, which is a major cause of gum disease and bad breath.

One of the key components of Buccaclean Dental Gel is chlorhexidine, a powerful antimicrobial agent that helps combat bacteria and inflammation in the mouth. By keeping bacterial populations under control, chlorhexidine reduces the risk of periodontal disease, a common issue in both cats and dogs. Another ingredient, sodium fluoride, supports the strengthening of tooth enamel, helping to prevent cavities and tooth decay.

The gel is designed to be easy to apply, either directly to the pet’s gums and teeth or by using a toothbrush. For pets that are resistant to brushing, the gel can also be applied using your finger or even added to your pet’s favourite chew toy, making the application process less stressful while still delivering the necessary benefits.

Description

Dental hygiene is an essential aspect of pet care that often gets overlooked. Poor dental health can lead to a range of issues, including gum disease, tooth loss, and even systemic infections affecting the heart, kidneys, or liver. Buccaclean Dental Gel 30g offers an easy and effective way to maintain your pet’s oral health, preventing the build-up of plaque and tartar, and promoting fresh breath. This gel is suitable for both dogs and cats and is designed for daily use to keep their teeth and gums in optimal condition.

The Importance of Pet Dental Hygiene

Maintaining good dental hygiene in pets is just as important as in humans. Dogs and cats are prone to developing dental diseases if proper care is not taken. Without regular cleaning, food particles and bacteria accumulate in the mouth, forming plaque. Over time, this plaque hardens into tartar, which can only be removed by a professional dental cleaning. Left unchecked, this build-up can lead to more serious issues such as gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) and periodontitis (an advanced stage of gum disease).

Gingivitis: Gingivitis is an early stage of gum disease characterised by redness, swelling, and bleeding of the gums. If treated early with regular cleaning and the use of products like Buccaclean Dental Gel, gingivitis can be reversed before it progresses into more severe periodontal disease.

Periodontitis: Periodontitis is an advanced form of gum disease where the tissue and bone supporting the teeth are damaged. This can lead to tooth loss and severe pain for your pet. Periodontitis can also have systemic effects, with bacteria from the mouth entering the bloodstream and potentially impacting organs such as the heart, liver, and kidneys.

Bad Breath: One of the most noticeable signs of poor dental hygiene in pets is bad breath (halitosis). This is often caused by bacterial overgrowth in the mouth. Buccaclean Dental Gel helps control these bacteria, leading to fresher breath and a healthier mouth overall.

Benefits of Buccaclean Dental Gel 30g

  • Reduces Plaque and Tartar Build-Up: The active ingredients in Buccaclean Dental Gel help to break down plaque and prevent it from hardening into tartar. This keeps the teeth cleaner and reduces the risk of gum disease.

  • Fights Harmful Bacteria: Chlorhexidine in the gel acts as an antimicrobial, helping to reduce harmful bacteria that cause gum disease, inflammation, and bad breath.

  • Strengthens Tooth Enamel: Sodium fluoride helps to strengthen tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay and damage. This is particularly important for older pets, whose teeth may have become more vulnerable over time.

  • Supports Overall Health: By maintaining good dental hygiene, Buccaclean Dental Gel not only improves oral health but also helps prevent the spread of bacteria to other parts of the body, supporting your pet’s overall well-being.

  • Easy Application: Buccaclean Dental Gel is easy to apply directly to your pet’s teeth and gums. For pets that are resistant to brushing, the gel can be applied using a finger or added to a chew toy to make the process less stressful.

Regular Dental Care for Pets

In addition to using products like Buccaclean Dental Gel, regular brushing and dental check-ups are key to ensuring your pet maintains a healthy mouth. Ideally, your pet’s teeth should be brushed daily to remove food particles and prevent the accumulation of plaque. Dental chews and toys can also help scrape away plaque as your pet chews, offering a natural way to support oral hygiene.

Professional veterinary dental cleanings are sometimes necessary, especially if your pet has advanced tartar build-up or periodontal disease. These cleanings involve scaling the teeth under anaesthesia to remove tartar and polish the teeth. However, preventive care with products like Buccaclean Dental Gel can help reduce the need for frequent professional cleanings by maintaining cleaner teeth and healthier gums between visits.
