bogadent DENTAL toothpaste MINT

bogadent® DENTAL CREME Mint is a novel toothpaste for dogs with a subtle mint flavour. The innovative formulation of the toothpaste with sugar-splitting enzymes and calcium-binding ingredients prevents plaque and tartar and ensures fresh breath. For optimal results, use the toothpaste together with our bogadent® ERGO DUAL BRUSH toothbrush. Swallowing the toothpaste is harmless for the dog.

Diseases of the teeth and the periodontium are frequent reasons for a visit to the vet. Depending on the extent of the dental disease, surgical intervention may be necessary. The necessary anaesthesia is very stressful for your dog or cat and can lead to complications.

A prerequisite for the development of tartar is plaque. This is a biofilm that consists of food residues as well as bacteria and their metabolic products and is deposited on the teeth. If plaque is not removed regularly, it hardens due to the minerals contained in saliva and becomes solid tartar. This leads to inflammation and recession of the gums, exposure of tooth necks and damage to the periodontium - periodontosis.
         
Further progression of inflammation and damage leads to bone loss (osteolysis), tooth loosening and eventually tooth loss. These pathological changes are extremely painful for your pet. They affect the quality of life and can lead to behavioural problems and changes in eating behaviour.

How do you notice that your pet is suffering from dental problems?
Bad breath is often the first sign. This can come from the food. However, if the bad breath persists despite a change of food, an inflammation of the gums is often the cause. Check your dog's teeth regularly by carefully lifting the lips. Plaque and tartar are increasingly deposited on the back molars and canines. If the gum line is reddened and already bleeds when touched, the inflammation is advanced and a visit to the vet is highly recommended.

How can you protect your pet from dental problems?
Chewing snacks and chews help to remove plaque. But this alone is not enough! Thorough and efficient cleaning of the teeth is only possible with a toothbrush or finger brush. Because, just like for us humans, daily brushing of your dog's teeth is the most important basis for a healthy set of teeth.

What should you keep in mind when cleaning your dog's teeth every day?
You should start cleaning your dog's teeth at a very early age. Get your dog used to it as a puppy and proceed playfully and gently. Dental hygiene should become a daily, fixed ritual that your dog enjoys and is rewarded for, for example with extensive play or a walk.

How can bogadent® support you in this?
In cooperation with veterinarians and dentists, we at Bogar AG in Wallisellen, Switzerland, have developed a holistic concept of dental hygiene articles for dogs. The main focus of these high-quality and innovative products is prophylaxis!

The bogadent® concept consists of 3 pillars:
