When we chat about dog care, one of the main issues of dog keepers is how they can brush their dog's teeth. Sadly, there are some people who think that their dogs can forego brushing their teeth.
Now, just like eating and respiring, proper hygiene is a necessity for dogs. It doesn't take a genius or a mental arithmetic whiz to figure that out. And just to give you an idea of how vital doggie teeth care is, here is an excerpt of an article taken from Cesar Millan's website.
This is an article about the significance of looking after your dog's teeth.
Grown dogs can learn how to become comfortable with dog teeth cleaning, but make things easier for yourself by working with your dog as a puppydog. And take your dog to the vet if you see signs of dental problems:
- Bad breathe
- Change in eating or dog chewing habits
- Pawing at the face or mouth
- Depression
- Exorbitant drooling
- Misaligned or missing teeth
- Discoloured, broken, missing or crooked teeth
- Red, distended, unpleasant or bleeding gums
- Yellowish-brown tartar crust along the gum line
- Bumps or growths in the mouth
Assertive dog chewing on hard objects could cause damaged teeth. Make sure you are providing safe objects for your dog to gnaw on. And during your dog's yearly check-ups, ensure your veterinarian takes a close look at his or her teeth to keep an eye peeled for any issue you'll miss.
Imagine what your teeth would feel just like if you didn't brush for 3 years. There would be delicate gums and a large amount of material and infection under your gum line. My opinion is that I wouldn't let a dentist clean scrupulously under my gum line if they hurt that much!
The reason behind maintaining good oral health is that it deters the bacteria and debris under the gums from causing life-threatening infections. You don't accomplish this if you do not clean adequately under the gum lines, and you can not clean under the gum lines if it hurts.
This is the quandary. If your dog teeth cleaning were done on the daily, you may get away with cleanings while your dog is awake (if he or she is highly docile). Usually awake dog dental care is focused on removing the visible tartar and does nothing about the more serious illness under the gums. If nevertheless , like many of us, you do not brush daily, the only option that may give your dog the extra years of life is to have the dog teeth cleaning done while under sedation.
