The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Wednesday, October 5,1994 11 Orono Fiddlers Donate $1,500 to Memorial Hospital open opposite me upper nack teeth, so it's most important to concentrate on brushing this area. Each tooth is surrounded by a shallow ditch or "sulcus". In a health mouth this should be less than 3 mm.'s deep in the dog, and 1 mm. in the cat. Because this is deeper than ours, it's best to hold the brush on a slight angle and sweep the bristles back and forth to clean this sulcus out. Pooling saliva, bacteria and food particles in the sulcus lead to gum inflammation inflammation that may eventually result result in tooth loss or decay. Use only pet toothpastes which are suitable for swallowing, preferably preferably one containing fluoride. Fluoride Fluoride helps reduce bacteria in the mouth, strengthens enamel, and desensitizes desensitizes teeth if there's a problem area. Always reward good behaviour with positive immediate feedback. Walks, grooming, playtimes are . great. Hopefully something other than food so the teeth can stay clean for at least a portion of the day. It takes time and patience, but it's worth it! Your pets mouth will stay cleaner longer and benefit from better overall health. Pteose Support ^ernorio\Hospu qu^mentCatTN The Orono and District Fiddle Oub donated $1,500 to the Surgery Unit of Memorial Hospital Bowmanville Bowmanville on Friday, Sept. 30. Receiving the cheque from Fiddle Club President Wendell Trineer and Vice-President Keith Wood is nurse manager Patricia Down. The money will be used to purchase an IMED infusion pump and tubing to be used to control the infusion drip a patient receives. Whether you've just had your pet's teeth cleaned, or whether they're too young to have any dental disease yet, it's important that you participate in maintaining this stage of oral health. There is no substitute for diligent home denial care to keep your pet's smile attractive and odour free. Dogs bond to each other by passing passing saliva back and forth, so usually, they arc quite receptive to having their doting owners handle their mouth. Cats, on the other hand, arc not pack animals and would rather not, have anything that they haven't painstakingly chosen placed in their mouths. Fortunately, thanks to chicken chicken flavoured pet toothpastes and positively-reinforced positively-reinforced training techniques, just about anything is possible if you take your time. Kittens and puppies are easy to train, generally accepting tooth brushing immediately. Even though puppies and kittens will lose their baby teeth between 3 to 6 months of age, it's most beneficial if you start handling their mouths and brushing their teeth much earlier. This way the habit is established. When you start brushing their permanent teeth to keep them clean and their gums healthy, it's no big deal. In most adult dogs and cats, acceptance acceptance is gained only after 1-2 months of daily and gradually more invasive oral handling. For the first week, start by just manipulating your pet's mouth. Most dogs have loose jowls that allow easy visualization of their teeth, once they're relaxed. There is no substitute for home dental care to keep your pet's smile attractive and odour free. With cats, try to pull the comer of their lip straight back, exposing the top row of teeth. Once you start to brush, they'll quickly open their own mouths and you'll be able to brush the bottom teeth without forcing their mouths open. Unless some of the teeth are rotated or overcrowded it is only necessary to brush the outer surface surface of the teeth.
