Oral cavity affectionsA close relation with a dog can also become a torture. Sometimes we'll have him begging next to our seat, pantering with hope, and at the same time exhaling a nasty smell. In that case you better check him. Lift the lips and watch his denture. Tartar: Almost all dogs older than 3 or 4 years will have tartar. It's not serious. Nevertheless, the vet will have to take away the mantle, if there are thick crusts covering the teeth surroundings. In fact, apart from bad odor, tartar causes gum's damages and loosens teeth. You better ask for information about preventive methods. Answer is simple: the only remedy is to clean his teeth. A suggestion: To clean teeth don't use your own toothpaste, which has awful taste for dogs, but an special dog's toothpaste. Veterinarians have buffalo leather's stripes to chew, with enzymes that prevent tartar accumulation.Oral cavity diseases | Disease | Treatment | Tartar | Extraction (vet).
