Xmile Gel
Xmile® Gel prevents bad breath and the formation of dental plaque and tartar due to its 15% egg yolk extract, rich in IgY Immunoglobulin. This product is intended for daily care of teeth and gums, helping to prevent tartar and dental plaque. It also incorporates enzymes and a mucoadhesive component that makes the product remain in contact with the gums for a longer period of time, even without brushing.
Information for veterinarians
The Banfield Pet Hospitals study of a population of 2.5 million dogs and 500,000 cats found that dental disease affects 76% of dogs and 63% of cats, increasing in prevalence by 23% since 2006.
Despite the frequency of presentation of this problem, the veterinarian has problems in raising pet owners' awareness of the importance of pet oral hygiene, as owners identify the veterinarian as their pet's doctor, but not as their dentist.
In general, there is a lack of attention to the oral hygiene of pets, due to a lack of awareness on the part of the owner of the need to take care of the mouth and the serious consequences that not doing so can have.
Imagine® Animal Health's commitment to the veterinarian is to offer innovative products marketed through the veterinary clinic. Preventive care is our priority and most of our products are in this area.
Pets' dental hygiene is fundamental to their overall well-being, just as important as vaccination and deworming care.
That is why we strive to develop products and tools that support veterinarians in their practice, fostering confidence and customer satisfaction.
In the study published in The Brazilian Journal of Microbiology (2007), "Detection of putative periodontal pathogens in subgingival specimens of dogs," PCR analysis was performed on gingival tissue samples obtained from 40 dogs (25 with periodontal disease and 15 without signs of disease), yielding the following results in the samples with periodontal disease:
- 64% Porphyromonas gingivalis
- 36% Campylobacter rectus
- 24% Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans
- 20% Prevotella intermedia
- 20% Tannerella forsythia
- 16% Fusobacterium nucleatum
The prevalence of Porphyromonas gingivalis in samples from animals without periodontal disease was only 6.66%.
In short, plaque is nothing more than a biofilm comprising a large number of bacteria embedded in a matrix that makes them much more resistant to the action of antibiotics and antiseptics.
The antibacterial properties of saliva are an important factor in the oral defence system. This protective effect can be further enhanced by the regular use of toothpaste gels containing enzymes and other active ingredients that enhance the natural protection of saliva.
