bogadent TARTAR REMOVER scaler

If plaque is not removed regularly and thoroughly by daily tooth cleaning, it forms hard tartar, especially in the canine and molar areas. This can cause permanent damage to the gums and the periodontium. Tartar should therefore be removed as early and regularly as possible. To this end, we have developed the unique bogadent® TARTAR REMOVER together with vets and specialists. The particularly hard plastic removes tartar very effectively, but is still gentle on the teeth.

Healthy teeth are vital for dogs and cats! Nevertheless, diseases of the teeth and gums are very common in our four-legged friends. This is also shown by scientific studies:
"80% of all 3-year-old dogs suffer from a disease of the teeth or gums!"

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

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 - periodontitis.

Further progression of the inflammation and damage leads to bone loss (osteolysis), tooth loosening and finally 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?
Chewsand chewing articles 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. Because, as with us humans, brushing your dog's teeth every day is the most important basis for healthy teeth.

What should you bear in mind when cleaning your dog's teeth every day?
You should start cleaning your dog's teeth every day from 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 for which he is rewarded, for example with extensive play or a walk.

How can bogadent® help you with 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!

The bogadent® concept consists of 3 pillars:
