Why are healthy teeth so important?
Bad teeth aren't just painful for us humans. They can also cause severe pain in our four-legged friends. This is fatal, because healthy teeth are a crucial factor, especially for our faithful four-legged companions.
Unlike humans, dogs use their teeth much more frequently throughout the day. Constantly in action and not just for eating, dogs also use their teeth for playing and exploring their surroundings. They carry sticks, balls, and other toys with their teeth several times a day. This is why dogs are also referred to as having a play set of teeth. Their teeth also serve as hunting tools and weapons, for deterring or killing prey.
Dental problems in dogs not only affect food intake, but also determine their well-being and social behavior.
Healthy teeth in dogs without dental problems
If your dog doesn't have healthy teeth, it will affect their overall development. Veterinarians are sounding the alarm, as dental problems are diagnosed in over 80 percent of their patients from the age of three onward. Periodontal disease, in particular, is becoming increasingly common.
The causes are varied, but often stem from inadequate dental care. Dog food, genetics, and breed-specific predispositions can also play a role. Regular dental care plays an important role in prevention.
Dental problems don't just cause pain: When chewing is difficult, nutrients can't be absorbed properly. Large lumps of food can cause gastrointestinal problems. Bacteria from the mouth can enter the bloodstream and cause kidney, liver, or heart problems.
What you can do for your dog's dental health
The most effective dental care is brushing. Combat bacteria, tartar, and bad breath with daily dental care. Start this routine when your dog is still a puppy.
