What Are Some Common Dental Issues for Dogs?
A dog, or any other type of pet, can have various oral health problems. For dogs, tooth infections and bad breath are common oral health issues. However, the most frequent oral health problem for dogs is gum disease. Approximately 70% of cats and 75% of dogs have gum disease by the time they turn three years old. Our veterinarian can help prevent this with regular teeth cleanings.
What Happens during a Teeth Cleaning?
We first give your dog an oral exam. This exam helps us identify if your dog requires teeth removal or is dealing with a tooth infection. If this is the case, we must use anesthesia to complete the procedure correctly.
If there are signs of periodontal disease in your dog's mouth, our veterinarian will have to clean your dog's teeth. We also have to do this under anesthesia since your dog will not remain still for a long enough period otherwise. Therefore, you should visit our Mission Hills, CA, clinic once a year to get your dog's teeth cleaned.
Can You Brush Your Dog's Teeth Yourself?
You can brush your teeth on your own. However, you should ensure you only use toothpaste explicitly created for pets. You can help your dog's teeth remain healthy by brushing a couple teeth daily. If you are hesitant, our vet can show you how to brush your dog's teeth.
