In studies involving 28 mixed - breed dogs, all cases showed significant reduction in dental bleeding and halitosis and marked improvement
in gingival health.1
If gingivitis is not treated properly and in a timely fashion, it can result
in gingival recession and bone loss resulting in the necessity for tooth extractions.
This disease can progress to deep pockets
in the gingival sulcus of the teeth, leading to loss of the surrounding bone, and, ultimately, loss of teeth caused by the infection.

An oral health optimized diet can reduce
gingival and periodontal inflammation
in humans — a randomized controlled pilot study.
Brushing the teeth is the «gold standard» (same as for people), and every day would be great, but no less than every other day,
in order to prevent the bio film (plaque) from forming into calculus and tartar (the hard yellow brown deposit on the teeth at the
gingival margins).
Our veterinarians and staff offer the latest
in technology and techniques: • Dental cleaning (scaling) and polishing • Routine tooth extractions • Surgical tooth extractions • Deciduous «baby teeth» extractions • Orinasal fistula repair •
Gingival surgery using radiosurgery or laser surgery • Full mouth extractions • Oral surgery • Fracture repair of the jaw • Mandibulectomy
This examination includes charting of the teeth, notations on calculus deposits, fractured and missing teeth, tooth mobility, growths and lesions
in the mouth,
gingival recession and bleeding.
At Animal Dental Care & Oral Surgery we are experts
in treatment and prevention of periodontal disease by comprehensive anesthetized dental scaling, polishing, root planing,
gingival surgery and guided tissue regeneration.
In dogs,
gingival tumors usually invade the bone and often recur locally after surgery, but few metastasize.
Gingival pockets and abscesses are common
in older pets, and these can not be identified or treated
in the awake pet.
The
gingival tumors are common and occur
in adult dogs and cats without breed or sex predilection.
In general, by four years of age, most cats have developed some dental or
gingival disease that will require veterinary intervention.
In addition to full dentistry services, we also perform oral tumor removal,
gingival hyperplasia removal, oronasal fistula repair, and other types of oral surgery.
If
gingival hyperplasia is associated with medications, discontinuing use of the medication often results
in the gums returning to normal.
In these cases, the appearance of
gingival hyperplasia may mimic the appearance of a mass or tumor.
In most cases, however, there is no pharmacological cause identified for
gingival hyperplasia.
''... dogs with
gingival hyperplasia have gum tissue that proliferates
in response to inflammation.»
Most animals respond to periodontal disease with receding gums, however, dogs with
gingival hyperplasia have gum tissue that proliferates
in response to inflammation.
Gingival hyperplasia may also be associated with the use of calcium channel blockers (used to treat cardiovascular disease) and phenytoin derivatives (used to control seizures), though these medications are used far less frequently than cyclosporine
in veterinary patients.
Logan EI, Finney O, Hefferren JJ, et al. «Effects of a dental food on plaque accumulation and
gingival health
in dogs.»
Bacteria
in the plaque irritate and cause inflammation of the
gingival tissue and lead to infection
in the surrounding bone.
Gingivitis also occurs from the bacteria
in the calculus and causes further
gingival recession.
Conducting a thorough examination of the teeth and oral cavity to detect any dental disease and
gingival pockets that may be hidden by the tartar, as well as any masses or abnormalities that may be occurring
in your cat's mouth or throat.

Therapy options range from simple cleaning and polishing
in early stages to closed root planing, subgingival curettage, and perioceutic therapy
in moderate cases and can extend to
gingival flap surgery, open root planing, and guided tissue regeneration (GTR)
in advanced stages.
As
in humans, the presence of bacteria causes bad breath (bacteria stinks), and the accumulation of tartar causes irritation and inflammation to the gums around the dog's teeth (gingivitis, under the form of red, swollen gums), which
in turn may lead to periodontal disease (the loss of the connective tissue fibers, ligaments and bone surrounding the teeth and responsible for supporting them) and eventually tooth loss due to gradual loss of supporting structure — see photo, something known as
gingival recession.
This causes irritation to the gums (gingivitis), which
in turn leads to
gingival recession and bone loss.
Gingival recession is the more frequent response with periodontitis
in the dog.
These early observations were reinforced by Colin Harvey
in 1993, when he stated: «In a healthy dog or cat, fed a «natural» diet that requires tearing and separation of swallowable pieces, the teeth and gingival tissues are largely self - cleaning; that is, plaque is wiped off before it has time to mature to a pathogenic thickness and bacterial mix.&raqu

The pH change
in the mouth allows bacteria to live below the
gingival surface where the bacteria causes infection, damage to teeth, and to other underlying structures.
Gingival hyperplasia is caused by an increase
in the number of cells within the gums.
Gingival hyperplasia is most commonly observed
in Boxer Dogs.
* ``... When comparing dry food only and non-dry food only fed dogs... there is no pattern to the trends (some teeth show an apparent protective effect from feeding dry food only, and others show the opposite — for calculus index, the trend is protective for all five teeth
in dogs feed dry food only, whereas for
gingival index it is the opposite, and it is mixed for attachment loss).
He added, A soft - bristled brush,
in a circular motion at a 45 - degree angle to the
gingival margin is a powerful tool against plaque and gingivitis.
The gums, or gingiva, cover the bone of the jaw and attatch to the cementum of the roots leaving a small pocket, or
gingival sulcus, normally less than 2 mm deep
in dogs, between the enamel of the crown and the gingiva.
