If you don't know the signs of periodontal disease, here are a few:
-foul breath
-pus at the gum line or around the tooth
-bleeding gums
-pawing at the mouth
-mouth sensitivity
-loose teeth
-difficulty chewing
-digestive upset
-drooling and nausea
-depression
To ensure a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums with a few dental procedures as possible, it's important to provide biologically appropriate food eg. bones and raw food. Raw foods will provide important enzymes and nutrients that help to promote a healthy environment inside the mouth, making it harder for plaque to form. Whole raw bones will help to rid the teeth of existing plaque, increase gum circulation and provide macro and micro minerals necessary for the prevention of tooth decay. Raw meats are much less likely to become stuck between the teeth and do not contain starch which leads to plaque buildup on the teeth. Raw foods will greatly reduce and even sometimes eliminate the need for costly and risky dental cleanings under general anesthesia.
