What is Healthy Gums?
Expertly crafted by a holistic veterinarian, Healthy Gums is a dynamic topical containing supportive herbs, like Calendula and Marshmallow Root, and essential nutrients like Coenzyme Q10, Vitamin C, and Zinc that help promote balanced oral health. This product adopts a gentle approach, free from alcohol or harsh ingredients that may cause gum irritation.
At this product’s core lies medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil, which comes from coconuts and stays liquid at room temperature. MCT oil helps build foundational oral tissue health by supporting nutrient delivery and helping maintain normal immune function and oral tissue integrity.
What is Healthy Gums used for?
As our beloved canine companions age, it’s important to be mindful of their gum health, starting as early as 2 years old. Many factors, such as diet, treats, and chewable toys, play a role in maintaining your dog's oral well-being throughout their life.
Occasional discomfort may happen as a natural part of your dog’s routine. Healthy Gums is specially formulated to:
- Support normal gum and oral tissue health
- Help promote a balanced oral environment
You can use Healthy Gums at any stage to support a healthy mouth, or as part of your dog’s daily regimen to help maintain their oral balance and comfort. Regular use may help promote the integrity of your dog’s teeth and gums.
For personalized advice and a comprehensive oral health plan, we recommend consulting with your veterinarian, especially if they experience occasional gum irritation or discomfort.
The role of nutrition:
Kibble alone may not effectively support a dog’s periodontal health, much like eating crackers wouldn’t help promote a person’s oral health. For natural support of your dog’s oral health, consider raw bones, often referred to as nature’s toothbrush. Many experts recommend raw bones as a great addition to your dog’s routine to help support normal plaque levels. You can find these bones at your local butcher. We suggest freezing them to maintain freshness and having your pup enjoy them outside to keep the mess contained. Be sure to remove the bone after a few hours to avoid letting your dog consume raw meat that’s been left out too long.
A note from our veterinarian:
Maintaining your dog’s oral comfort is essential to their overall health and happiness. Regular attention to their dental care helps ensure they can enjoy eating and stay active. Being proactive with oral hygiene helps keep your pet’s mouth in a comfortable, healthy state as they age.
If you notice occasional bad breath from normal tartar buildup, it may be time for some oral support. Regularly check your dog’s teeth and gums, and consult your veterinarian if needed. Healthy Gums can be a helpful addition to your dog’s routine to promote ongoing oral comfort.
