Benefits of Brushing Your Pet’s Teeth

Regular brushing is essential for maintaining a pet’s dental health. Poor oral hygiene can lead to plaque buildup, gum disease, tooth decay, and even more serious health issues affecting the heart, liver, and kidneys. Daily brushing helps prevent these problems and contributes to a pet’s overall well-being.

Prevention of Plaque and Tartar

Plaque is a soft, sticky film of bacteria that forms on the teeth. If left untreated, it hardens into tartar, which is more difficult to remove and can lead to gum disease. Brushing with Virbac Enzymatic Toothpaste helps remove plaque before it turns into tartar, reducing the risk of dental issues.

Fresh Breath

Bad breath in pets is often caused by bacteria and food particles trapped in the mouth. Brushing regularly with enzymatic toothpaste helps control bacterial growth and remove debris, leading to fresher breath. The poultry flavour ensures that brushing is more enjoyable for pets while still being effective in maintaining oral hygiene.

Healthy Gums

Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is one of the most common health issues in pets. It begins with inflammation of the gums and can progress to infection, tooth loss, and pain. Brushing helps keep gums healthy by removing bacteria and reducing the risk of inflammation. Regular oral care supports strong, pink gums that are less prone to disease.

Reduced Risk of Tooth Loss

Without proper care, teeth can become loose or fall out due to decay and gum disease. This can make eating difficult and painful for pets. Brushing helps maintain strong teeth, reducing the likelihood of extractions or dental complications in the future.

Lower Risk of Systemic Health Problems

Dental disease does not only affect the mouth. Bacteria from infected teeth and gums can enter the bloodstream, potentially leading to heart, liver, and kidney problems. Maintaining good oral hygiene through regular brushing helps prevent these complications and supports overall health.

How to Use Virbac Enzymatic Toothpaste

Virbac Enzymatic Toothpaste is designed for daily use as part of a pet’s oral hygiene routine. Regular brushing is the most effective way to prevent dental disease and maintain healthy teeth and gums.

Step-by-Step Brushing Guide

1. Choose the right toothbrush – Use a pet-specific toothbrush or a finger brush for easier access to the teeth and gums.
2. Introduce the toothpaste gradually – Allow the pet to lick a small amount of toothpaste from your finger to familiarise them with the flavour.
3. Apply the toothpaste – Place a small amount of toothpaste on the brush.
4. Brush gently – Lift the pet’s lips and brush the outer surfaces of the teeth using circular motions. Focus on the back teeth where plaque tends to accumulate.
5. Keep the experience positive – Reward the pet with praise or a small treat to make brushing a positive experience.

It is not necessary to brush the inside surfaces of the teeth, as the pet’s tongue naturally helps clean these areas.
