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, which are coated with silver ions.

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

A prerequisite for the formation of tartar is plaque. This is a biofilm, which consists of food residues as well as 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 saliva and becomes solid tartar. This leads to inflammation and recession of the gums, exposure of tooth necks and damage to the periodontium - periodontosis.    
    
Further progression of inflammation and damage leads to bone loss (osteolysis), tooth loosening and eventually tooth loss. These pathological changes are extremely painful for your pet. They affect the quality of life and can lead to behavioural problems 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 come from the food. However, if the bad breath persists despite a change of food, an inflammation of the gums is often the cause. 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 already 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?
Chewing snacks and chews 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 brush. Because, just like for us humans, daily brushing of your dog's teeth is the most important basis for a healthy set of teeth.

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

How can bogadent® support you in this?
In cooperation with veterinarians and dentists, we at Bogar AG in Wallisellen, Switzerland, have developed a holistic concept of dental hygiene articles for dogs. The core of these high-quality and innovative products is prophylaxis!
