When we talk about dog care, one of the key issues of dog owners is how they can brush their dog's teeth. Sadly, there also are some people that 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 to become happy with dog teeth cleaning, but make things simpler for yourself by working with your dog as a young dog. And take your dog to the veterinarian if you see indicators 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
Aggressive dog gnawing on hard objects can cause broken teeth. Ensure you are providing safe objects for your dog to nibble on. And during your dog's annual check-ups, make sure your vet takes a good look at their teeth to keep an eye open for any issue you may miss.
Imagine what your teeth would feel a bit like if you didn't brush for 3 years. There would be delicate gums and an enormous amount of material and infection under your gum line. I'm of the opinion that I wouldn't let a dentist clean carefully under my gum line if they hurt that much!
The cause of maintaining good oral health is that it prohibits the bacteria and waste under the gums from causing life endangering diseases. You do not achieve this if you don't clean adequately under the gum lines, and you can't clean under the gum lines if it stings.
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.
