The lack of regular care leads to a deterioration in the health of teeth and gums due to the appearance of plaque and tartar, whose signal more evident is bad breath.

Plaque is a biofilm originated from food waste and metabolites of bacteria, which accumulates in the teeth. If plaque is not removed regularly, mineralizes by the minerals contained in saliva and is formed tartar.

Tartar causes inflammation and undermines the gums and damage teeth causing periodontal disease. In the latter case, it causes loss of the tooth.

Bad breath is often the first sign of plaque formation and subsequent evolution to periodontal disease. Although feed is a cause to consider if bad breath persists after a change in diet, inflammation of the gums should be considered if it persists. Thus, it is important to raise the lips often to check the status of the animal's teeth. The plaque and tartar build up especially in the back molars and canines.
Inflammation is at an advanced stage when the gum line becomes red and bleeds to the touch and is highly recommended to veterinarian consultation.

Bad breath is often the first sign. But may also be due to food. If after a change in diet, bad breath persists, the cause is often an inflammation of the gums.
Check your pet's teeth regularly, raising his lips gently. Plaque and tartar accumulated are observed more in the molar and canine teeth. If the gum line is red and bleeding at the touch, then it is because the inflammation is already at an advanced stage and it is recommended you go to the vet with your pet.

Chewing helps to remove plaque. But that alone is not enough! You can only clean teeth
thoroughly and efficiently using a toothbrush or finger. Because, as with humans, the daily cleaning of teeth is the basis of a proper oral hygiene.

You should start cleaning their teeth early, addressing through play and smoothly so that your pet gets used. Dental hygiene should become a daily ritual, which is fun for your pet and for which it is rewarded, for example, with a lot of fun or making a walk.
