Dog calculusCauses
1. After the dog eats, there is often a part of the food left on the teeth. If it is not cleaned for a long time, a large number of bacteria will grow in the accumulation for a long time. These bacteria will increase the pH value of the saliva and become alkaline, making the saliva more alkaline. The proteins in it are further broken down, releasing calcium salts, which then settle on the surface of the dog’s teeth, forming calculus.
2. Phosphatase produced in part of the cells of the puppy can hydrolyze organophosphorus to produce phosphorus, which is then deposited on the surface of its teeth to form dental calculus.
3. The formation of dental calculus in dogs is also related to eating habits, and there is no restriction on dog breed, gender and age. If the owner does not give the dog good oral health care, it may cause the dog to suffer from dental calculus. In addition, the abnormal structure of the dog’s teeth, such as the deciduous teeth that have not fallen out or the teeth grow irregularly, may lead to the accumulation of food in the crevices of the teeth when the dog eats, forming tartar and then further forming dental calculus.
4. If the concentration of carbon dioxide in the dog’s saliva is low, some inorganic salts will be precipitated on the surface of their teeth, which is the substance that constitutes dental calculus.
5. If a periodontal pocket is formed around the dog’s gums, food residues, dental plaque and dental calculus will be more likely to accumulate, and the continuous accumulation will further damage the dog’s deeper periodontal membrane. After a continuous vicious cycle, the final result is to destroy all the periodontal support tissue of the dog, and then the dog’s teeth must be pulled out.
I believe that after reading the above, you all know the reasons for the formation of tartar in dogs. Let us remind you that tartar and dental plaque are tartar The early substances formed can be avoided by cleaning and care, so the owner should pay attention to cleaning the dog’s mouth, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.
