Oral Disease
Watch for the following oral disease symptoms in your dog:
Excess plaque and calculus (dental tartar) deposits on your dog's teeth cause bad breath.
Without treatment, this could lead to painful gum and bone infections.
It is perfectly normal for young dogs to lose their "baby" teeth, just like children do
After the "adult" teeth have grown in, tooth loss becomes a great concern for canine health.
Tooth loss is caused by an infection of the tissues and bones surrounding the teeth.
Once this infection starts, it is irreversible.
Bleeding gums could indicate dog health problems known as pyorrhea or gingivitis.
Pyorrhea causes inflamed and infected gums that could eventually cause kidney infections or endocarditis in older dogs.
Gingivitis is an inflammation of the gum line from food particles.
Your dog should not have difficulty chewing on hard foods or toys.
Sensitive teeth or gums could indicate a tendency towards pyorrhea or gingivitis.
Always pay close attention to your dog for changes in temperament that may indicate illness or health threats.
