Periodontal disease is the most common disease process in small‐animal patients. Proper therapy for periodontal disease consists of four components, based on the level of disease (Niemiec 2008):

 Professional dental cleaning

 Periodontal surgery

 Extractions

 Home care

These various procedures are covered in detail in other chapters; this chapter will focus on the client's role in controlling periodontal (gum) disease.

The prophylactic oral health program includes two major parts: regular dental examinations and established regular oral home care.
