My Dog%26#039;s teeth!!!?
Do you have a puppy or a dog?? If you have a puppy, it is very normal for him to be losing teeth! Just like humans... they lose their baby teeth to make room for those adult teeth. It is best to start brushing your pups teeth now while he is still young.





If your dog is an adult...





Sounds like it is time for a good dental cleaning at your vet%26#039;s office. The dental will absolutely make his breath much better... we get all the plaque off the teeth and can even use laser treatments to get rid of gingivitis. Good oral health can add up to three years to a dogs life. And as far as his tooth coming loose, sounds like his mouth is not in good shape. There is nothing you can do for this tooth... let it come out on its own. Call your vet and schedule a dental. It costs anywhere from $90-$250 at our hospital. Good luck!!!





ADD: No mints... but you could go out and purchase dog toothpaste and start to brush his teeth! If your dog will not tolerate the actual brushing... even the simple act of getting a little bit of the dog toothpaste into his mouth is better then nothing.





ADD2: Iggy, it is NOT normal for dogs to lose their teeth! Puppies, yes... dogs, no!
Reply:he has several peridontal problems. you need to take him to the vet. they will probably do a teeth check and possible tooth extraction on those falling out. and as for his breath.. they may do a cleaning and you can brush his teeth regularly and give him %26quot;breath busters%26quot; - by pedigree.
Reply:You need to make a vet appointment and have his teeth cleaned and extract any other rotten/diseased teeth. I%26#039;m assuming he is a small breed dog - dental problems are very common with small breeds.





ADD:


I would like to add that yes, if it%26#039;s a PUPPY, they will lose their puppy teeth and it%26#039;s perfectly normal. But it%26#039;s NOT normal for an adult dog to lose their teeth and needs to see a vet.
Reply:It is normal for dogs teeth to come out, however with the really bad odor, sounds like the tooth is infected, call your vet......
Reply:How old is your dog? Is this a puppy tooth, or an adult tooth? Infections in the teeth and gums can cause some nasty health problems, so if you have any concerns, contact your vet.
Reply:the teeth falling out is normal if its a puppy teething. if so, then just leave it and let nature take its course.





if its an older dog, whose teeth shouldnt be falling out, see a vet.





for the smelly breath there are mints you can get in pet stores and tooth brush and tooth paste for dogs you can use
Reply:take him to the vet if he has rotten teeth


I buy Pedigree DentaStix and other dental product which help with dog breath and clean their teeth.





get him a doggie toothbrush and paste.
Reply:If your dog has gum disease, that can affect his internal organs, particularly the heart and kidneys. He needs to see the vet.
Reply:Maybe get that tooth removed at the vet! After that you can go to a pet shop with a groomer every once in a while and get his teeth cleaned.
Reply:Go to the vet for a dental cleaning, or your dog%26#039;s teeth will rot of his mouth, and won%26#039;t be able to eat hard food anymore. Infection also becomes bloodborne and causes whole-system infections. Go to the vet. He needs a dental cleaning.
Reply:Your dog (not puppy) needs to see the vet for a tooth cleaning and get the loose tooth removed. There isn%26#039;t ANYTHING magical you can give the dog to avoid this and the sooner done the better. But after the dog%26#039;s dental needs are taken care of you could brush the teeth to keep them clean. A product I like a lot that I get from the vet is C.E.T. Hextra, dog chews that help keep the teeth clean. But understand nothing is going to work without that dental care first!
Reply:mint%26#039;s. this is normal for a dog%26#039;s breath to smell when their teeth come out. dog%26#039;s rule yeah!
