Tooth Health in Dogs: Keep Your Pup’s Smile Sparkling!
By Telavets – Your Telemedicine Sidekick for Healthy, Happy DogsBad breath in dogs? That’s no fun! If your dog’s breath is more "doggone" than delightful, it might be a sign that they need a little help with their oral health. Just like us, dogs need regular dental care to keep their teeth and gums healthy.
Dental disease in dogs is common and can lead to painful issues, including gum disease, tooth loss, and even infections. Thankfully, Telavets can help you keep your dog’s pearly whites in tip-top shape!
Common Dental Issues in Dogs
- Tartar and Plaque: Plaque builds up on your dog’s teeth, leading to tartar, bad breath, and gum disease.
- Gingivitis: Inflammation of the gums caused by bacteria, often leading to bleeding or discomfort.
- Tooth Abscesses: Swelling and infection at the root of a tooth, which can be painful and require treatment.
- Bad Breath: Foul breath is often a sign of dental disease.
