Dental Guard

Dental Guard is a scientifically formulated Functional Food designed to support a healthy oral environment. EOTRH (equine odontoclastic tooth resorption and hypercementosis) affects about 5% of the horse population globally. Horses may also have inflamed gums and advanced gum disease.

EQUINE periodontal disease is a common and painful condition, the aetiology and pathology of which are poorly understood.

Periodontal disease is something ALL horse owners need to be aware of, early diagnosis and effective treatment are critical and if these occur then the outcome should be healthy horses free from dental pain who will benefit as they age from retaining their teeth.

Gingivitis is defined as inflammation or recession of the gingiva, without any loss of the tooth’s attachment apparatus.

Periodontal disease is defined by inflammation or loss of the periodontal tissues.

Equine odontoclastic tooth resorption and hypercementosis

There is a particular form of periodontal disease about which little is known, other than recently it was reported that the source of the problem was due to the “Red Complex Bacteria”.

EOTRH requires careful management. Although there is currently no known cure, the symptoms and the horse’s pain can be managed effectively thus allowing these horses a better quality of life. Dental Support has been successfully used to manage this condition by Equine University Hospitals and Equine Dentists throughout Europe for the past 6 years, and is supported with clinical research ( see pictures)

Antioxidants
Free radicals are formed daily which are damaging to the whole body. Antioxidants act as scavengers to prevent cell and tissue damage.
Down regulates oxidative stress, supports a balanced immune system.

Omega-3
Omega 3 is required for synthesis of inter cellular connecting substances. The long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (EPA) and (DHA) are important in generating bioactive lipid mediators important in helping reduce inflammation.

Probiotics
These are required to maintain a healthy gut environment where most of the body’s immune system is located.

Mushrooms
Fungi have developed an arsenal of medicinal compounds with antibacterial and antiviral properties to protect themselves and in turn help protect anyone who consumes them. They are also classed as an adaptogenic. Ganomycin, a powerful modern antibiotic, comes from Reishi mushrooms.
