However, when it comes to a health issue, dogs prefer to stay quiet about it. You wouldn\u2019t know your dog is suffering in silent due to oral health problems until you check or the vet finds out during routine check-up. Dental health issues are rapidly increasing with each passing year. According to veterinarians, over 80% of dogs above the age of 4 years experience oral health issues. Therefore, it\u2019s highly crucial to pay attention to your dog\u2019s teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many pet parents\ndon\u2019t recognize the symptoms of oral diseases in their pets, so below we have\nprovided all the necessary information about dog teeth problems. First, let\u2019s\nlook at the signs of dental health problems in dogs \u2013 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Excessive\ndrooling <\/li><li>Inflammation\nin gums<\/li><li>Tartar\nbuildup <\/li><li>Blood\ncoming from the gums<\/li><li>Difficulty\nin eating <\/li><li>Lameness\n<\/li><li>Drooling\ncontinuously <\/li><li>Pawing\nat the mouth<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The above list is the\nmost common signs of teeth problems in dogs. However, you should know that most\ndogs don\u2019t show any signs of pain until it becomes unbearable. This is because\nwhen they were in the wild, showing signs of pain to others meant they were\nvulnerable. Thus, it\u2019s you who has to take the matter in hands and check the\ndog\u2019s teeth for any signs of teeth problems. Moreover, the dental problem isn\u2019t\njust limited to gum disease; there are many other reasons behind oral health\nissue. In this blog, you\u2019ll find out the most common teeth problems a dog\nfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Bad breath<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bad breath is the\nfirst indication of teeth problems in dogs. Whenever you feel like some bad\nodor is coming from your dog\u2019s mouth, it\u2019s a sign that there is something wrong\nwith his teeth or gums. The reason behind bad breath is built-up tartar, stuck\nup food particles and other bacteria in the mouth. Therefore, make an\nappointment with the vet as soon as you observe any bad odor coming from the\npet\u2019s mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Baby Teeth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All the puppies have deciduous\nteeth that fall off upon arrival of adult teeth. In the majority of cases,\nthese teeth fall off without any problem. But, some dogs and puppies retain\nthese teeth. Due to this, some dogs have baby teeth as well as adult teeth.\nThis leads to a buildup of plaque and other dental infections in the dog.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Plaque\/Tartar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Plaque is a thin\nlayer of bacteria of the food that the dog consumes. It sticks to the surface\nof the dog\u2019s teeth which has repugnant odor. Moreover, this bad odor gets even\nworse when the teeth aren\u2019t cleaned on a regular basis. When the plaque remains\non the teeth for a longer period of time, the dog\u2019s saliva hardens it and\nthereafter it becomes tartar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Gingivitis <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you notice red\nand inflamed gums, it is a sign of gingivitis. This occurs when the tartar and\ninfection seep into the gums, below the gum tissue. It can cause irritation and\ncan further weaken the gums. Therefore, it\u2019s highly imperative to keep a check\non your dog\u2019s oral health. Brush his teeth regularly to prevent any such\ninfection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Periodontal Disease<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When gingivitis gets worse, it becomes periodontal disease. It gets under the gum line and deteriorates the tissues and bones that keep the teeth in one place. Once this starts, little holes and pockets form around the teeth which let bacteria and food particles accumulate. This leads to many dangerous health issues and eventually loosens the tooth, making it fall out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Teeth Fracture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some dogs are quite aggressive when it comes to chewing food or a toy. Chew bones and other hard toys can actually cause your dog\u2019s teeth to break. This depends on the size of the chew or the amount of pressure the dog is applying. Either way, these hard chews can be very harmful to your pet\u2019s teeth thus it is advised to keep the dog away from any hard toy or object. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"background-color:#9edee3;font-size:17px\" class=\"has-text-color has-background has-very-dark-gray-color\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canadapetcare.com\/blog\/ways-to-improve-dental-health-of-your-dog\/\">6 Effective Ways To Improve Dental Health Of Your Dog<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to protect your furry pal from any such dental health problems, ensure you brush his teeth regularly.
