Dental diseases, such as periodontal disease, can cause significant pain and discomfort for dogs. This can lead to difficulty eating and overall reduced quality of life.
Healthy teeth and gums are essential for dogs to chew their food properly. Dental problems can lead to difficulty in chewing, which can result in poor nutrition and weight loss.
Advanced dental disease can cause teeth to loosen and fall out. This not only affects the dog's ability to eat but can also lead to further health complications.
While bad breath can be a nuisance, it is often a sign of underlying dental problems that need to be addressed.
As importantly, poor dental health in dogs has been linked to several serious systemic diseases:
The most common dental problem in dogs is periodontal disease, an infection of the tissues that hold the teeth in place. Bacteria from the mouth can enter the bloodstream and affect other organs, leading to systemic health issues.
There is a well-documented link between periodontal disease and heart disease in dogs. Bacteria from the mouth can enter the bloodstream and attach to the dogs heart valves, causing endocarditis, an infection of the heart.
The bacteria from periodontal disease can also affect the kidneys. Chronic kidney disease can develop from long-term exposure to these bacteria, as they enter the bloodstream and cause inflammation, leading to kidney damage and reduced function over time.
The liver is another organ that can be affected by the spread of oral bacteria. This can lead to liver infections and inflammation, which can impact the dog’s overall health and metabolism, causing a range of systemic issues and complicating treatment options.
Dogs with dental disease are more likely to develop diabetes. Conversely, diabetes can worsen dental issues, creating a vicious cycle. Poor oral health can make it more difficult to manage blood sugar levels, which further complicates diabetes management and overall health.
Infected teeth and gums can lead to the inhalation of bacteria, which may cause serious respiratory infections such as pneumonia. This can result in severe health complications and worsen the overall well-being of the dog, requiring prompt medical attention.
By maintaining good dental hygiene, you can help prevent not only dental diseases but also the broader health issues that can arise from poor oral health.
maxxidental is an advanced oral support for dogs. The natural ingredients in maxxidental are specifically chosen to reduce plaque and tartar while promoting fresher breath.
By combining two of the most effective dental ingredients (Kelp & Natural Zeolites) in one product, plus adding additional oral support ingredients, maxxidental is one of the most advanced dental formula for dogs available.
Our blend of minerals helps prevent plaque from forming and sticking to teeth. Additionally, other ingredients reduce the growth of harmful bacteria in the mouth, helping to prevent cavities and tooth decay. By promoting a healthy oral microbiome in dogs and reducing oxidative stress in the gums, maxxidental improves your dog’s overall oral health.
Good dental health is vital for dogs’ overall health and wellbeing. Poor oral hygiene can not only cause tooth decay and gum diseases. It can also cause various other systemic health issues. Reducing oral bacteria and inflammation can decrease the risk of bacteria entering the bloodstream and affecting organs like the heart, liver, and kidneys.
Our maxxidental is specifically designed to promote healthy gums, teeth, and fresh breath.
Kelp (Ascophyllum nodosum) is a brown seaweed rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, commonly used as a dietary supplement to support overall health and well-being in both humans and animals.
Kelp is packed with vitamins (A, B, C, D, E, and K), minerals (iodine, calcium, magnesium, potassium), and amino acids, which support dental health as well as overall health and wellbeing.
There are scientific studies available indicating that kelp (Ascophyllum nodosum) supports dental health in dogs. Like this research that shows that supplementing a dog’s diet with kelp can significantly reduce plaque and tartar build-up, which are primary causes of periodontal disease.
Kelp supports canine dental health by reducing plaque and tartar. Kelp contains natural enzymes and antibacterial properties that help break down the biofilm responsible for plaque and tartar build-up on teeth, thereby reducing dental issues in dogs.
While the antibacterial properties of kelp help to reduce the bacteria in the mouth that cause bad breath, leading to fresher dog breath.
Kelp is also high in minerals such as calcium and magnesium, which are essential for maintaining strong teeth and overall oral health.
Zeolites are minerals. Natural zeolites are formed after volcanic eruption. When the lava flows into water (lakes, ocean), it crystalizes and creates unique structured minerals, zeolites. Which explains the name, but the word zeolite is derived from two Greek words that mean boiling stones.
There are around 40 natural zeolites and over 150 synthetic zeolites products available. We only use natural zeolites in our maxxidental gum and dental support for dogs.
Natural zeolites form a unique cage-like structure and negative surface charge that naturally draws into the “cage” positively charged particles (heavy metals, like mercury, lead, arsenic). Once trapped inside, these harmful substances are safely and naturally excreted from the body.
Therefore, zeolites are beneficial to balance the body’s pH and to remove heavy metals from the body. This makes natural zeolites popular ingredient in many human supplements, i.e. to promote healing of various conditions, as well as to help with body detox.
Zeolites also remove contamination of the teeth, which helps to prevent plaque forming and sticking to teeth.
There are some human studies available about using zeolites for oral hygiene.
This small double-blind cross-over study showed that mouth rinse with silver-zeolite greatly reduced dental plaque formation. While this study showed it effectively cuts candida growth and acid production, which are two major causes of dental plaque and oral infections.
Finally, this study showed that zeolite can eliminate volatile odours and combat bad breath.
Pediococcus acidilactici is a species of lactic acid bacteria commonly used as a probiotic that promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria and healthy microbiome. It is especially beneficial as probiotic for dogs as it survives the acidic environment of the dog’s stomach and makes it to intestines where it is needed.
Pediococcus acidilactici supports dog dental health primarily through its probiotic properties that promote a healthy oral microbiome.
It helps to maintain a balanced oral microbiome by inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria that can cause dental diseases. By outcompeting pathogenic bacteria, it reduces the formation of plaque and tartar, which are major contributors to periodontal disease.
Pediococcus acidilactici can also help to reduce inflammation in the gums, which is beneficial for preventing and managing gingivitis and periodontal disease, and reduces the risk of oral infections.
By supporting a balanced microbial environment in the mouth, Pediococcus acidilactici contributes to overall oral health, helping to prevent bad breath, tooth decay, and gum disease.
Cranberry is a type of evergreen shrub and offers a host of antioxidants and nutrients that can help fight infections and boost overall health, including oral health.
Cranberries contain a nutrient known as Proanthocyanidins which prevents bacteria from binding together.
Cranberry is a well-known for supporting the urinary tract system and prevent UTI recurrence (hence one of the key ingredients in our maxxiUtract urinary and bladder support for dogs).
The same compounds that prevent bacteria from attaching to the urinary tract also prevent bacteria from sticking to the teeth and gums, as well as cutting down the amino acids that the bacteria need to survive. This can help to reduce cavities, tooth decay, plaque, and gum disease.
This study on humans shows that the polyphenols of cranberries, appear to have potential for preventing and/or treating dental caries and periodontal disease.
While this study suggests cranberries are good for oral health by preventing ‘bad bacteria’ from sticking to the teeth and gums which could help reduce tooth decay, plaque and gum disease.
This study review confirms above and suggests that cranberry components could serve as bioactive molecules for the prevention and/or treatment of oral diseases.
Calcium ascorbate combines calcium and ascorbic acid (vitamin C). It is a form of vitamin C that is often used as a dietary supplement because it is less acidic than pure ascorbic acid, making it gentler on the stomach.
Calcium ascorbate provides both calcium and vitamin C, each of which offers distinct health benefits. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that supports the immune system, promotes healthy skin, and aids in the absorption of iron. While calcium is essential for strong bones and teeth, muscle function, nerve signalling, and cardiovascular health.
There are number of studies available that have looked at vitamin C role in oral health in humans and this study summarises and links to the different studies.
Among others it confirms that there is clear scientific evidence linking periodontal disease and vitamin C deficiency. Vitamin C is also believed to play a protective role in patients with oral cancers and various studies confirm that vitamin C can play a vital role in preventing the development of dental caries and contributes to collagen synthesis, which is an important protein for providing tooth structure, support, and maintenance.
Vitamin C and calcium are both key nutrients that promote healthier teeth and gums.
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that plays an important role in the growth, repair, and maintenance of healthy teeth and gum. It aids with collagen synthesis which helps to develop and maintain healthy gums and may help to reverse gingivitis in the early stages.
As everyone knows, calcium is vital for good bone health. Not everyone realise how important calcium is for teeth development and how it helps to strengthen the enamel (the thin outer covering of the tooth). Calcium has also been proven to be a necessary nutrient in gum health.
Yucca schidigera extract supports canine dental health primarily through its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, which contribute to overall oral hygiene.
Yucca schidigera contains saponins and polyphenols that have anti-inflammatory properties. These compounds can help reduce inflammation in the gums, which is beneficial for preventing and managing gingivitis and periodontal disease in dogs.
It also has natural antimicrobial properties that help reduce the growth of harmful bacteria in the mouth. This can decrease the formation of plaque and tartar, which are major contributors to dental disease in dogs.
While the antioxidants in Yucca schidigera help protect oral tissues from oxidative stress and support the healing process. This can be particularly useful for dogs with existing dental issues or those recovering from dental procedures.
By reducing the production of ammonia and other odour-causing compounds, Yucca schidigera can help improve breath odour, which is often a sign of poor dental health.
This study on humans shows that taurine exerts a protective role against the oxidative stress in the management of patients with chronic periodontitis.
Taurine has some important functions in the heart and brain, hence one of the key ingredients in our maxxicardio heart support for dogs and maxxicalm calming aid for dogs.
What is less known is the role taurine has for oral health, but it has been shown to reduce oxidative stress in the gums and blood which helps to promote healing and improve oral health.
maxxidental works by utilizing a combination of natural ingredients and expertly crafted formulation designed to target oral bacteria and plaque build-up.
Our blend of minerals helps to prevent plaque from forming and sticking to teeth. While other ingredients reduce the growth of harmful bacteria in the mouth, helping to prevent cavities and tooth decay.
