bogadent TARTAR REMOVER Tartar Remover

If plaque is not removed regularly and thoroughly by daily tooth cleaning, hard tartar forms from it, especially in the area of the canine and molar teeth. This can permanently damage the gums and the periodontium. Therefore, tartar should be removed as early and regularly as possible. For this purpose, we have developed the unique bogadent® TARTAR REMOVER together with veterinarians 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 the periodontium are frequent reasons for a visit to the vet. Depending on the extent of the dental disease, a surgical intervention may have to be performed. The necessary anaesthesia is very stressful for your dog or cat and can lead to complications.

A prerequisite for the formation of tartar is plaque. This is a biofilm that 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 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 affect the quality of life and can lead to behavioural problems and changes in eating behaviour.

How do you know 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, 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 on the 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?
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 bear 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!

The bogadent® concept consists of 3 pillars:
