Teeth

The denture of the dog should be controlled from the first months of life. Mainly in the dogs of small size it will be necessary to watch over that the definitive teeth don't come out before they have lost the milk teeth  (between the four and the six months). If that happened, it is advisable that the veterinarian extracts the corresponding milk tooth; if one doesn't have caution, the dog could present in the future mouth deformations difficult of correcting. 

The teeth of a dog, especially when he gets old, they are easily attacked by the cavity that causes pain, difficulties when chewing, lack of appetite and bad breath. Sometimes forming fissure in the base of the sick tooth, by extracting and cleaning the cavity a total improvement is obtained. 

The dog completes the teething around the first year of age. So that their teeth stay healthy it is necessary to clean them once per month passing a humid brush on the front teeth and on the eyeteeth. To clean the molars, although it is in an elementary way, give to the dog, from time to time, a spongy bone or an apple, and if the cleaning has been neglected during a long time and the teeth appeared yellowish and covered with tartar it will be necessary to appeal the veterinarian so that he can remove the tartar with the appropriate instruments. If the dog has lots of tartar it can cause inflammations and bad scents. You can avoid or slow their formation by putting a drop of lemon juice in the brush when you wash the teeth of the dog.
