Dental disease is one of the most common health problems seen in dogs and cats. In fact, according to the American Dental Society, 80% of dogs and 70% of cats show signs of having oral/dental disease by the age of three. Most of these problems are related to the accumulation of tartar on teeth. As tartar build-up continues, a variety of problems can occur including gingivitis (gum inflammation), bad breath, and periodontal disease, which can lead to a host of other serious medical concerns.
