bogadent ANTI-PLAQUE FINGER

To prevent plaque from mineralising into tartar and causing lasting damage to dental health, it should be removed regularly, preferably daily. The innovative bogadent® ANTI-PLAQUE FINGER consists of 20,000 particularly high-quality microfibres coated with silver ions.

Each of these fibres is additionally coated with a polymer layer. This special, patented silver ion technology allows the continuous release of active silver ions over a long period of time, thereby developing their antibacterial effect. The high-tech microfibre fabric (Made in Germany) removes plaque very effectively, adapts to all finger sizes and is easy to clean.

Dental plaque is a prerequisite for the formation of tartar. This is a biofilm that consists of food residues, 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 the saliva and becomes hard tartar. This leads to inflammation and recession of the gums, exposure of the tooth necks and damage to the periodontium - periodontosis.

Further progression of the inflammation and damage leads to bone loss (osteolysis), tooth loosening and ultimately tooth loss. These pathological changes are extremely painful for your pet. They impair the quality of life and can lead to behavioural disorders 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 be caused by the food. However, if the bad breath persists despite a change of food, the cause is often an inflammation of the gums. 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 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?
Chews and chewables 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 ring. Just like for us humans, brushing your dog's teeth daily is the most important basis for healthy teeth.

What should you bear in mind when cleaning your dog's teeth daily?
You should start cleaning your dog's teeth daily from a very early age. Get your dog used to it as a puppy and proceed in a playful and gentle manner.

Dental hygiene should become a daily, fixed ritual that your dog enjoys and for which he is rewarded, for example with extensive play or a walk.

How can bogadent® support you in this?
In collaboration with vets and dentists, we at Bogar AG in Wallisellen, Switzerland, have developed a holistic concept of dental hygiene articles for dogs. Prophylaxis (prevention) is at the heart of these high-quality and innovative products!
