Althoughmany of these owners treat their dog more like a family member and less like an animal, mostare unaware of one of the biggest health risks for their dog.Periodontal disease is the most frequently diagnosed health problem in pets. In fact, more than80 percent of dogs have it by the time they are 4 years old.

Periodontal disease begins when bacteria and food debris build up along the dog's gum line.Plaque is created and, soon after, tartar forms on the teeth. Eventually the gums swell, andpockets form that can trap bacteria and lead to more serious problems.\"Doggy breath, loose teeth, bleeding gums, mouth pain and even infections in the heart, liverand kidney are signs of advanced periodontal disease,\" says Jan Bellows, DVM and owner ofHometown Animal Hospital and Dental Clinic in Weston, Fla. \"To avoid these health problems,owners must take steps to care for their dog's teeth-much like they care for their own.\"Only one in five owners have ever attempted to brush their pet's teeth and only 2 percent brushwith enough frequency to maintain proper oral health.In addition to brushing, Dr. Bellows uses ORAVET™, a plaque-prevention gel that stopsdisease-causing bacteria from attaching to the teeth. It is the only sealant available on themarket.After an in-clinic cleaning, the sealant is applied to the dog's teeth, creating an invisible barrierthat reduces bacterial plaque adhesion. Owners then apply the odorless, tasteless homecare gelto the dog's teeth once a week. It typically takes less than a minute to apply.\"As a veterinarian and as a pet owner, this gel gives me a valuable tool in preventing oraldisease in dogs,\" says Dr. Bellows. \"It's easy to use and is a perfect complement to toothbrushing, dental diets and dental chews.\"Title:How To Get Affordable, Low Cost Health InsuranceWord Count:332Summary:抮There are several ways you can obtain affordable, low cost health insurance.
