2. Double-row teeth are very easy to accumulate dirt, and food residues are easily left in the gap between the two juxtaposed teeth, which cannot be cleaned with gauze or toothpicks. Over time, it will lead to dental calculus and bad breath.
3. Bacteria grow in the mouth, causing gastrointestinal discomfort, and periodontal disease will eventually form, which may eventually lead to difficulty in eating and affect life expectancy.
Solution:
1. From two months onwards, give the dog dry dog food and avoid soft food. During the tooth replacement period, you must ensure the dog’s calcium intake! In addition, if your dog eats animal liver or meat as the main food for a long time, then it should be supplemented with calcium in an appropriate amount. Because not only the calcium content is very low in this kind of food, but also contain high concentration of vitamin A, vitamin A can inhibit the absorption of calcium. So you’d better get rid of the habit of long-term liver feeding immediately and supplement calcium for it in time.
2. Parents, it is best to pay attention to the changes of the dog during the tooth change period, to see if it can change all the teeth normally by itself. If not, it is necessary to help them in time through artificial force . Give your dog more dog chews, play tug-of-war games with them with string, and often use your hands to help the dog move its deciduous teeth to loosen them.
3. A dog’s deciduous teeth can usually be removed before one year old. It is not recommended to pull out a dog’s deciduous teeth before one year old! The dog’s gums are integrated, and pulling out one tooth may cause The gums are loose, which is not good for other teeth. Don’t pull out your teeth unless you have to! The doctor said that the deciduous teeth can be considered to be pulled out only after the deciduous teeth are loose, otherwise it is generally not recommended.
4. If your dog still maintains double rows of teeth after one year old, don’t hesitate to take it to the hospital to have the deciduous teeth extracted.
