Pulse therapy for dog teeth is an alternate approach that can be applied to dogs who, due to old age or underlying health issues, cannot undergo anesthesia for traditional dental care. Many dogs in their senior years develop dental problems such as advanced periodontal disease and infected teeth. Many dog owners are concerned about putting their old dogs under anesthesia, but nowadays, with the many advances in the anesthesiology department and close monitoring, most vets see no problem in having the gums and teeth of older dogs treated. However, at times, in some rare cases, this may be counterproductive and that's when vets may suggest pulse therapy for dog teeth. pinterest-pin-it

Aging and Dental Disease in Dogs
According to statistics collected by the American Veterinary Dental College by the age of three, most dogs show some evidence of periodontal disease. Periodontal disease is quite troublesome because it leads to a cascading chain of events which can potentially involve even distant organs such as the dog's heart, lungs and kidneys. Just like us, after eating a meal, a white/yellow film known as plaque starts depositing on a dog's teeth. At this stage, this film is soft and easy to remove with a toothbrush.
