Periodontal disease (PD) is one of the most frequent causes of dental disease in dogs, because it is a pathology produced by an accumulation of bacterial plaque, which initially produces gingivitis and later irreversible damage such as periodontitis. Periodontal disease is an alteration that is normally not considered by the guardians, causing irreversible damage at the oral level and provoking cardiac, hepatic and/or renal diseases. Taking this into account, it is important to be able to evaluate in which stage of the disease the animal is, to be able to give adequate treatment and then continue with prevention to avoid future relapses and diseases. It is proposed as a methodology to compile and review scientific publications that gather information about periodontal disease, its stages, treatment and prevention. This research article aims to identify the main causes of periodontal disease, identify the stages that can occur in dogs and offer treatments according to their stage; it also highlights the importance of prevention of periodontal disease to avoid complications later
