5 easy ways to keep your dog's teeth clean and breath fresh

Oral hygiene is as important to dogs as it is to humans.๐Ÿฆท

Without proper oral hygiene, bacteria can reach levels leading to oral infections, such as tooth decay and gum disease.๐Ÿ˜ท

To maintain good dental care, daily brushing is essential not only to eliminate these harmful bacteria in the mouth but also to irritate the gums. However, some dogs simply cannot stand the thought of brushing their teeth or having a brush in their mouth. As a pet parent, this may be a concern for you, but the good news is that plenty of alternatives to daily brushing can help maintain your dog's health.๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿฆท ๐Ÿฆด

Here are some of the oral problems dogs face due to poor oral hygiene:

โ–ช๏ธ Bad breath
โ–ช๏ธ Hard brown/yellow residue on teeth (tartar)
โ–ช๏ธ Food, saliva, and bacteria build up on teeth (plaque)
โ–ช๏ธ Inflamed, swollen, or bleeding gums

1. Brush your dog's teeth with a delicious toothpaste

Brushing your teeth is the foundation of good oral health. If you don't have time, brushing your dog's teeth at least once a week is enough, but the more often the better.

Specially designed dog toothbrushes with angled handles, soft bristles and even multiple heads give you easier and faster access to all the little nooks and crannies in your dog's mouth. You need toothpaste designed for dogs, as human toothpaste contains toxic ingredients like xylitol and fluoride that can cause serious harm. Dog toothpaste comes in many appealing flavours, such as beef and chicken. You can try different toothpaste and toothbrush combinations to see which works best for you and your puppy.

2. Avoid hard bones and chews that can damage your teeth

Chewing on hard objects such as bones, stones and rock-hard toys - can permanently damage your dog's teeth. When the object is too hard for the teeth to penetrate, there is a risk of tooth fracture. Broken teeth can cause chronic pain in your dog and may increase the risk of infection. Once a tooth is broken, professional veterinary care is the only solution to the problem.

3. Choose dental chews and treats that are proven to reduce plaque

Dog tooth chews clean your dog's teeth while stimulating your dog's natural craving for tasty treats. Plus, your dog will be too busy munching on its treats to cause trouble elsewhere.

These products are designed to help scrape the teeth as your dog chews, scrubbing away plaque and residual food particles. The best dental chews for dogs arenโ€™t a substitute for daily brushing, but they can help keep your petโ€™s breath fresh.

4.ย Give dogs dental spray to reduce bad breath

This is a quick and easy way to take care of your dog's bad breath, as dog dental spray can be used alone or between brushings. These sprays kill plaque-causing bacteria and keep your dog's breath fresh.

In addition to its deodorizing effect, dental sprays can also remove bacteria grow and prevent the formation of tartar and plaque. Most sprays are simple to use (spray the teeth and gums). Since some dogs don't stay still when cleaning their mouths, dental sprays can help you get instant fresh breath with minimal effort.

5.ย Visit the veterinarian regularly

Regular checkups and preventative care by a veterinarian are essential to keeping your dog's teeth clean and healthy. During your appointment, your veterinarian will examine your dog's mouth to assess factors such as the amount of plaque and tartar buildup and look for problems such as inflamed gums, broken teeth, or painful areas.

Monitoring these changes over time is a great way to make sure your home dental care plan is working effectively. When problems are identified, it is important to address them immediately.

How do dental chews work?

Long-lasting dental chews have a hard, chewy texture that allows your dog's teeth to sink into the dental chew for maximum tooth contact. The process of chewing scrapes the surface of the teeth, gradually removing the buildup of plaque and tartar.

ย 

Chewing dental chew works well because it means your dog has to chew more and causes some plaque to rub off the teeth.

If your dog has bad breath, it's because of a buildup of bacteria in your mouth. Good dental chewing can help reduce bad breath.
