Kibble’s Impact: Why It Enhances Plaque & Gum Disease.
In this clip from the podcast with , Dr. Emily Stein breaks down something most pet parents have never been told:
“There are so many carbohydrates in kibble. It’s sold as a physical disruptor of plaque, but in our studies it actually enhances plaque production and grows the really harmful microbes linked to gum disease, diarrhea, and irritable bowel issues.” – Dr. Emily Stein
So what should you do instead of relying on kibble for dental health?
✨ Support the oral microbiome daily with scientifically designed prebiotics (like TEEF for Life).
✨ Add dental support to water or food so it reaches every corner of the mouth.
✨ Choose treats and toppers with functional ingredients instead of empty carbs.
✨ Reduce fermentable carbohydrates so bad bacteria have less fuel to thrive.
Healthy mouths start with healthy microbes — and that means going beyond kibble.
