The tooth looks hard, but it is not a solid dead thing. It has nerves in it. If you have to smooth your teeth, the most direct result is to hurt your teeth. The dog was too painful to eat, and finally the infection caused various problems.
There is also the fact that ordinary dogs like to bite things, toys, shoes and pillows ... if their teeth are ground flat, then they will involve things like hardness.
If the dog has bad breath, we can find out why! First of all, you need to judge that your dog eats the same food as people? Or its own special feed? If it eats the same food as people, the chances of food remaining in its teeth are greater than eating dry dog food, but dogs will not pick their teeth and brush their teeth. Therefore, once food gets stuck in your teeth, it will lead to bad breath, and what is more serious is tooth decay and periodontal disease. In addition, the reason for its bad breath may also be that its liver and kidney functions began to change.
Let your dog use special toothpaste and toothbrush for dogs (you can buy it from the veterinary hospital). Don't use human toothpaste (because dogs can't gargle). As long as you wash it regularly, the dog's breath will be fresh and natural.
In addition, if cleaning is still ineffective for a long time, please take it to a veterinarian to check whether there is calculus or too much tartar, and you need to wash your teeth to improve it, or do other tests for unknown reasons. In addition, puppies should pay more attention to calcium intake.
How to prevent bad breath in dogs
There are many reasons for bad breath in dogs, such as oral diseases (periodontitis, gingivitis), gastrointestinal diseases, respiratory diseases and other systemic diseases can also cause bad breath. There are two ways to prevent bad breath in dogs.
1. Dogs should keep brushing their teeth from an early age. Studies have shown that there are two main types of halitosis caused by dental problems. One is bad breath caused by tartar and dental bacteria accumulation when primary teeth are replaced with permanent teeth. The other is the bad breath caused by the permanent teeth growing out, but the parents didn't clean the dog regularly. To avoid this situation, brushing your dog's teeth regularly is the best way.
Besides brushing your dog's teeth, there are other ways to help your dog clean his teeth. For example, you can give your dog some dental cleaning bones, which will help the dog to change his teeth and effectively clean the dental calculus attached to his teeth during occlusion, so as to achieve the goal of cleaning the oral hygiene for the dog.
Of course, if it is determined that the dog's bad breath is only caused by oral hygiene problems, then brushing your teeth is the best way to maintain oral hygiene. If it is determined that the bad breath is caused by gastrointestinal diseases, oral diseases or other systemic diseases, then the dog should be treated first, then the oral hygiene should be cleaned to eliminate the bad breath, and then the care to prevent the dog's bad breath should be done.
