Dog Teeth Cleaning & Dental Care. Tips & Tricks According to a survey, dental issues are more common in dogs compared to cats. Moreover, growing dogs face more dental problems. Dogs by the age of three are most likely to contact some or the other form of periodontal disease. What complicates the issue is the silent nature of the dental disease in pets. A dog parent would initially find no signs with his pet’s mouth. Then as a shock, out of nowhere, a more advanced form of gum disease appears in his dog. Therefore, it becomes important to make dental care an important part of your pet parenting ritual. Neglecting this aspect of your dog’s health would be an invitation to a plethora of oral issues in the form of gingivitis, tartar and plaque build-up, chronic pain and tooth loss in severe cases. Thus, as a pet parent it is advisable to clean your dog’s teeth at least 3-4 times a week if not daily.
How You Notice Your Dog Has a Dental Issue Unfortunately, the nature of this disease is as such that the symptoms are not visible initially. It deters through a slow process, which starts with food particles sticking to dog’s teeth and thus give way to plaque and tartar buildup. A pet parent would notice the issue when the plaque buildup would result into inflammation, redness in gums, loosening of teeth, etc. Following are the symptoms, which signifies a mature form of dental disease in pets
