4. What does Gumz-n-Teeth contain?

Gumz-n-Teeth contains the following ingredients:

  • Arthrospira platenis (Spirulina) is a single celled micro-organism found in the sea and known to be an excellent source of chlorophyll. Widely used for its nutritive properties, Spirulina contains protein, vitamins (including B12 and folic acid) and carotenoids. Spirulina also makes vitamin A available for use in the body. Vitamin A is essential for healthy eyes, teeth and immune functioning. This sea algae has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years as a tonic to boost energy, support liver and immune system functioning, and general systemic health.

  • Equisetum arvense (Horsetail) has been widely used in Western and Chinese herbalism for many centuries. This therapeutic herb helps to support healthy body tissue due to its high silica content. Silica is essential in the maintenance of healthy and strong teeth, skin, bones, claws and fur and is the main component in all connective body tissues including the myelin sheaths around nerve cells and the membranes of the brain and spinal cord.

  • Taraxacum officinale (Dandelion) is a source of vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin A, D, C, various B Vitamins, iron, lecithin, silicon, potassium, magnesium, zinc and manganese. These vitamins and minerals are all essential for the health of the digestive system, bones, teeth and gums.

  • Silica (6c) is a biochemic tissue salt which has a unique ability to cleanse the cells of toxins and purify the body. Silica is naturally occurring in the body, especially in hair, nails, skin, nerve sheaths and all mucous membranes, including the mouth and digestive tract. This biochemic tissue salt is also frequently prescribed for gum health. Silica acts as a natural cleanser and purifier and will also eliminate all foreign matter in the body. For this reason Silica should not be used for pets with any type of prosthesis, metal plates, pins or artificial tubes in the body.

  • Calc. fluoride (6C) is a biochemic tissue salt which is important for healthy teeth, skin and bones. Calc. fluoride is also useful for teething pets. It is found in the enamel of teeth and bone surfaces and is excellent for maintaining the health and integrity of teeth.

  • Calc. phos. (6C) is a biochemic tissue salt useful for healthy teeth and gums and is particularly important in times of growth and development. This salt is found in the bones, connective tissue, teeth etc. and is necessary for supporting the strength/solidity of these tissues. Calc phos. is excellent for supporting healthy circulation, bones and teeth.

  • Lactose (inactive ingredient)

14. How do I brush my pet’s teeth?

There are many ways to help prevent disease of your pet’s gums and teeth, but none of these can replace the need for brushing the teeth! This is not as difficult as it sounds either! The easiest way to start is by finding a toothpaste that your pet likes. Try a variety of different flavors by giving your pet a taste of each and see how he/she reacts. Once you’ve worked out which toothpaste is going to do the trick you can put a little of this paste on a soft, moist cloth and wipe just one or two of the front teeth with it, giving your pet lots of encouragement and praise. Start slowly like this and every day just add one or two more teeth to the routine with lots more praise and petting. Move your “brushing” slowly backwards day by day until your pet lets you brush even the back molars. When your pet is used to this you can graduate to a very soft-bristled tooth brush like those made for babies. Daily brushing is ideal but several times a week will still suffice.

15. When should I start brushing my pet’s teeth?

As soon as puppy or kitten’s teeth become visible. Although these teeth will be replaced by a second set of “adult teeth” your pet has the same gums for life. It is also important to start brushing early so that your pet becomes accustomed to the routine and even learns to enjoy the process.

16. What food will help to keep my pet’s teeth healthy and strong?

Hard food is best for removing plaque or tartar from the teeth and gums. Give your pet plenty of raw bones and raw vegetables (e.g. carrots) to help “clean” the teeth as well as improve general health and immune functioning.

17. What else can I do to help my pet?

  • Use Immunity and Liver Support capsules to boost your pet’s immune functioning and resistance against diseases and infection.

  • Ensure your pet is eating a high quality diet with plenty of raw and unprocessed food. Many commercial pet foods also contain additives like sugar which can undermine your pet’s dental health.

  • Never give your pet treats containing sugar.

  • Provide plenty of fresh clean drinking water and encourage your pet to drink after eating.

  • Young pets in the teething stage will benefit from PupTeeth Granules to start them off in the development of strong healthy teeth.
