THE TEETH

As we do the dogs need to wash their teeth. The toothpaste for human is not digestible for dogs. In the other hand there is toothpaste for dogs and our dogs like the taste. So they leave their master to brush their teeth with no gesture of protest. That avoid you to detect and prevent potential tooth disorder notably for the teeth bac, and to indicate it to his veterinary. An aggressive behaviour can be caused by a problem of health.

If your dog has to be anaesthetized to be operated, think to ask your veterinary to do a tartar removal if it is necessary. You will avoid to subject him an anaesthesia just to do a tartar removal.

THE MAIN PROBEMS OF THE TEETH ARE :

The dental plaque :

the salt of calcium accumulate at the base of the tooth at the junction with the gingiva (neck of the tooth). With time that cause the receding gums and gingivitis.

The dental caries :

It is rare on the tooth because the enamel is hard. it is presenting rather on the roots of the upper carnassial and cause with time a facial dental fistula that may cause a gumboil.

The yellow teeth :

The teeth of dogs become yellow when they grow old or when they had a serious illness.

Decalcification and deterioration of the enamel :

Due to serious illness. These lesion don't result in caries.
