Bad breath is usually one of the symptoms of periodontal disease, and gingivitis is an early symptom of periodontal disease. In fact, early gingivitis has already begun to cause bad breath problems. However, in addition to oral problems such as periodontal disease and gingivitis, what other diseases may cause bad breath?

Gastrointestinal diseases, respiratory diseases or other systemic diseases, such as kidney disease and liver disease, can also cause bad breath. In these cases, you must go to the hospital to see a doctor for detailed biochemical and other related examinations before specific treatment.

Prevention and treatment of bad breath in dogs

1. Understand the real cause of dog’s bad breath, so that you can prescribe the right medicine. If it is due to poor digestion, you can give your dog a kind of digestive yeast (lactobacilli tablets) or probiotics. This can help the dog's gastrointestinal digestion by accelerating intestinal peristalsis and breaking down the incompletely digested food by lactobacilli. Food, so that the problem of poor gastrointestinal digestion can be improved. At the same time, you can use green tea (one bag of green tea bag soaked in 500ml of water, soak for 5-8 minutes and discard the tea bag, drink up to twice a week) as Dogs’ daily drinking water can also help improve bad breath.

2. Another problem is tartar cleaning. Dental problems can be divided into two types. One is bad breath caused by the accumulation of tartar and dental bacteria caused by the inability of deciduous teeth to fall out when the deciduous teeth are replaced by permanent teeth. The other is bad breath caused by the fact that the permanent teeth have already grown in, but because of the parents’ Bad breath caused by not cleaning your dog's teeth regularly.

3. The former is a problem caused by the permanent rear molars and the front canines that have not fallen out. Because the molars have not fallen out, it is easy to leave residue when chewing dog food, causing tooth decay in the deciduous molars, and the permanent molars have not yet emerged (due to calcium supplementation in an hour, Therefore, deciduous teeth are not easy to fall off). At this time, in addition to regular oral cleaning, you can use a dog-specific mouthwash with a light mint flavor, dip it on a dog-specific toothbrush, and gently brush the dog's back molars and front canine teeth. , it can remove tartar and sterilize at the same time, and prevent permanent teeth from being eaten by fish ponds! Tooth decay will continue.

4. You can also buy cowhide bone dog chews or an imported Greeies teething stick (or a deodorizing biscuit) for your dog to bite, which will help the dog to change teeth faster. As for the front canine teeth and deciduous teeth, first There is no need to rush to remove the canine teeth. Try playing tug-of-war with the dog more often. This will also speed up the time it takes for the canine teeth to fall out. The latter’s permanent teeth have already been fixed. Parents must clean the dog’s teeth at least once a week. Of course, you can. Using the methods mentioned above, you can also use dog-specific tooth cleaners (including toothpaste and tooth cleaning spray). It is up to the parents to decide on their own.

5. Another point to note is that when giving teeth cleaning bones to dogs, you should not just leave the teeth cleaning bones to the dogs to bite. This is a misconception. If it is deodorizing biscuits or small cowhide Dog chews can be given to dogs to bite and eat on their own, but when cleaning teeth and feeding them to dogs, parents must ask them to hold themFeed the dog, and let the dog's incisors, left and right rear molars bite interchangeably on the dental cleaner bone, so that the dental cleaner bone can be put to full use, otherwise the dental cleaner bone may be chewed by the dog three or two times in less than 5 minutes. Just bite it off (bite less and swallow more). This tooth-cleaning bone is actually just a dog snack.

6. Severe dental calculus or plaque requires ultrasonic scaling or special dog toothpaste to dissolve and remove it. And pay attention to anti-inflammation and future care.

Warm reminder: No matter what the cause is, oral plaque has the greatest impact. Because even if there are other causes of bad breath than the oral cavity, brushing your teeth or scraping your tongue every day can help reduce bad breath. On the contrary, bad breath caused by gastrointestinal diseases, respiratory diseases, etc. will also be made worse by the relationship between tartar and periodontal disease. Therefore, oral hygiene has the closest and most direct relationship with bad breath.
