I. Common oral diseases in dogs
- 1. Dental calculus: Dental calculus consists primarily of food debris and bacteria, the cause of bad breath and periodontal disease. Once dental calculus forms on a dog’s teeth, it can be difficult to remove. Therefore, owners should help their dogs clean their teeth regularly and even take them to the vet for cleaning if necessary.
- 2. Gingivitis: Gingivitis is the precursor to periodontal disease. The area where the gums meet the teeth is called the “gingival sulcus.” Because dogs don’t know how to clean their teeth, their gums accumulate a lot of food debris after numerous diets, causing bacteria to grow here. When bacteria invade the gums, they can inflame the gums and cause pain.
- 3. Periodontal disease: Owners usually do not care for their dogs. Over time, the dog’s teeth will grow dental calculus. Calculus accumulation will become periodontal disease if the situation does not improve. Periodontal disease can cause abscesses, inflammation, and bleeding in the flesh of the teeth, severely damaging the flesh tissue and causing the teeth to shake dramatically, eventually leading to massive tooth loss. Therefore, periodontal disease is a severe dental disease. If you find that your dog has periodontal disease, you should treat it immediately.
- 4. Tooth decay: In addition to people, dogs can also have problems with tooth decay. Tooth decay occurs when food residue is left in the mouth, and then bacteria use the food residue as a nutrient to multiply. While multiplying, it produces an acidic substance. When this acid comes in contact with the teeth, it slowly dissolves the calcium of the teeth and forms cavities or tooth decay. Tooth decay can cause toothache, necrosis, and a significant decrease in appetite in dogs.
- 5. Uneven bite: The leading causes can be of two types: the dog has a problem with the development of the upper and lower jaws, which prevents them from opening and closing correctly. Second, as the permanent teeth grow, they become temporarily terminated and grow ectopically. Dogs with uneven bites get stuck teeth that interfere with eating.
- 6. Broken teeth: Dogs are born to chew on their mates, and sometimes they chew on rocks, wearing down or even breaking their teeth. Some of the more active dogs will run around and damage their teeth. In addition, dogs can get old.
- 7. Tongue abscess: If the salivary glands under the tongue are blocked, a large fluid-filled mass, known as a sublingual abscess, can develop under the tongue. If the owner notices that the dog has this problem, he should immediately get a veterinarian to perform surgery to remove the fluid. The blockage may also be caused by stones or even grass seeds.

Teeth are essential for dogs to chew and bite food and rigid bones. As with teeth, when food debris or residue is stored between them, bacteria can multiply between them, leading to tooth decay or gum inflammation that can affect a dog’s appetite and digestion. So, regularly checking your dog’s teeth is essential to address the problem promptly. Remove tartar with a wet cotton ball dipped in tooth powder. Don’t use toothpaste; dogs don’t like the taste. Generally, brush your dog’s teeth once a week. Also, feeding your dog bones frequently will satisfy your dog’s desire to chew on things and serve the purpose of grinding and fixing teeth.

Brushing is the most effective way to prevent plaque from forming. Your veterinarian will show you how to regularly brush your dog’s teeth with a toothbrush and toothpaste specifically designed for dogs. Dogs should be brushed 2-3 times a week, starting at 6. At first, the dog will not adapt to resist, but if he sticks with it, he will develop better habits. First, take a strip of gauze, dipped in a bit of saline wrapped around the food’s middle finger, and wipe the gums and teeth in turn, moving gently so as not to damage the gums; once the dog is acclimated, dip it in a bit of pet toothpaste and brush its teeth. This toothpaste does not need to rinse the mouth and can be swallowed dry by itself. The above operation can last for 2 weeks.

A dog’s diet should be balanced, with food prepared according to its lifestyle and life cycle. A balanced diet will ensure your dog’s nutrition, especially by providing the necessary calcium and phosphorus for dental health. If you feed your dog with canned food, you should add some cookie crumbs to it to increase the fiber and roughage in the food. It is best not to feed your dog bones because it can damage their teeth and cause cracks and pain. Do not give your dog too many sweets, such as chocolate and sugar, to avoid tooth decay. He can be fed vegetable sticks and other chew bones, which not only exercise the bite of the dog’s teeth but also clean the tartar and tartar effect.
Vitamin B drugs
If mouth ulcers and swollen gums are present, wash and rub iodine glycerin or antibiotics with warm saline. If the lesions are severe, they should be treated with antibiotics. Take some vitamin B medication regularly to reduce the incidence.

The important thing to note about giving dental bones to dogs is not to throw dental bones to dogs to bite; this is a wrong idea; if it is deodorant cookies or calfskin, dog bites can bite dogs, but dental bones to feed dogs, please parents feed dogs so that the dog’s incisors, left and right molars can interchangeably bite dental bones, so dental bones can be fully utilized. Otherwise, this cleaning bone may be chewed by dogs in 5 minutes with fewer bites, and more swallowed, so this cleaning bone It is called a dental bone, but it is just a snack for the dog.
