Common oral diseases in dogs:

1. Dental calculus: Dental calculus synthesized from food residues and bacteria is the culprit of bad breath in dogs.

2. Periodontitis: Periodontitis involves acute or chronic inflammation of the gums and alveolar bone tissue around the teeth. If not treated in time, it can cause gum recession and loose teeth.

3. Dental plaque: If parents have never taken care of their dog’s teeth, there is likely to be plaque caused by food residue and bacteria on the dog’s teeth.

4. Tooth decay: Remaining food residue and unbalanced nutrition can cause tooth decay.

5. Gingivitis: Gingivitis is a precursor to periodontal disease. It mostly occurs at the junction of the gums and teeth, which is also called the gingival sulcus.

6. Broken teeth: Dogs break teeth because dogs naturally like to chew things. During the process of chewing hard things, the teeth will be worn or even broken.
