1. The harm of double row teeth in dogs:
1. The dog’s deciduous teeth do not fall off for a long time, which will affect the growth of the permanent teeth, resulting in improper growth and deformity of the permanent teeth, and the dog cannot bite properly, often drooling and other symptoms.
2. Double rows of teeth are also easy to accumulate food residues. Over time, it is easy to cause serious dental calculus and bad breath in dogs, which will further lead to oral ulcers, swollen gums, gingivitis, bleeding gums and other dog oral cavity. disease.
3. The growth of oral bacteria caused by the dog’s double rows of teeth can also easily lead to gastrointestinal discomfort and affect the dog’s appetite. It is also prone to severe periodontal disease, which makes it difficult for dogs to eat, which in turn affects the dog’s lifespan.
Second, the solution to the dog’s double row teeth:
1. Owners should start feeding their dogs dry food after they are 3 months old and avoid soft foods. In addition, it is necessary to ensure that the dog can take in the calcium of the pet owner during the teeth replacement period, and appropriately feed the dog calcium tablets or liquid calcium. Don’t feed your dog liver and meat for a long time, as these foods are low in calcium and high in vitamin A, which can inhibit calcium absorption.
2. The pet owner should pay attention to the change of the dog’s teeth during the process of changing teeth, and determine the change of the teeth. If you find that the dog’s permanent teeth have begun to grow, but the deciduous teeth have not fallen out, you need to use tools such as teether and molar sticks for the dog to help the deciduous teeth loosen and fall out. You can play tug-of-war with the dog properly. If the dog is obedient, you can shake the baby teeth directly with your hands.
3. Under normal circumstances, a dog’s deciduous teeth will fall out before one year of age. If you find that the dog has deciduous teeth that do not fall out at this stage, it is not recommended to extract the teeth too early. One is that the dog can’t stand it, and the other is that it may be dangerous to use anesthesia.
4. If the dog’s double rows of teeth remain the same after one year old, don’t hesitate to take it to the hospital as soon as possible to extract its deciduous teeth. After tooth extraction, it should not be taken lightly. Adult dogs should check their teeth regularly and brush their teeth regularly to protect their oral health.
