The following is a boring but practical popular science time (the following are all real shots, please note the source for use):
The most common are dental plaque, dental calculus, gingivitis, tooth decay and so on;
Dogs do not take the initiative to brush their teeth, or even hate to brush their teeth, so oral problems are often ignored. Regular oral examination and keeping brushing 2-3 times a week, plus a daily cleaning stick, this is an ideal cleaning method. It is ridiculous to say that I am the lazy owner, probably this is a long illness.
One: Sweets! Sweet foods! Sweet foods! Yiyi's decayed teeth come from my beloved grandmother. The candy that can't be chewed and the five-kernel moon cakes that can't be eaten are all in the dog's stomach;
Second: the food is too thin and soft, the dog's teeth are not like human teeth arranged neatly, too soft food residues will remain in the crevices of the teeth, often eat homemade at home must pay attention to brushing teeth!
If you have decayed teeth, you can cut out the decayed part in the middle section. For example, the decayed teeth of the posterior alveolar teeth may damage the dental nerves, or fill or pull them out, which is a big trouble to hurt the muscles and bones;
Dental calculus is the biggest culprit of oral diseases! Dental calculus may appear from the age of 3, especially in elderly dogs;
The formation of dental calculus is due to the precipitation of calcium salts in saliva and food residues caused by bacteria (often eating liquid food and not paying attention to cleaning is more obvious), usually accumulated in the posterior alveolar teeth, the new dental calculus is softer, the longer the time is harder, suffering from dental calculus will have bad breath, long-term adhesion on the teeth will also corrode the teeth, leading to gum inflammation and atrophy, causing periodontal disease and so on. Eventually the tooth falls out.
1. The fastest and most effective way is to wash your teeth. Dogs need anesthesia to wash their teeth. Anesthesia has certain risks. Repeated anesthesia will also cause trauma to the nervous system. Whether to choose to pay such a price, please consider carefully.
2. Brush your teeth! Brushing teeth is the safest way, but it takes a long time to get results, and it can't be brushed off seriously.
3. Use a steel knife (today's theme) to remove dental calculus, which is effective immediately. After removal, you should pay attention to oral care to avoid getting dental calculus again.
This tool is still relatively unpopular, one is that medical tools are afraid of not being used, and the other is that they dare not use it for fear of hurting the dog. I remember that the hospital used to use something similar to pliers to break off dental calculus. Every time I went to clean up the dog, I was very afraid. This tool is relatively safe and suitable for household use. Details below ~
Shanghai Weirong Medical Equipment Co., Ltd. was established in 1996, and established its own brand'Star Teeth 'in 2014. It mainly deals in oral instruments, surgical instruments and clinical tests analysis instruments for human use. The products are medical grade tooth cleaners, which were originally used for human use and are now widely used for pets;
There is a sticker seal at the opening of the back to ensure that each one is brand new. When purchasing, choose a merchant who clearly indicates that it will not accept returns and exchanges if it is unsealed;
Scraper is a sharp weapon, each separately packaged in this leather case, WeChat scanning QR Code is the "Weirong Medical" public number, most of which are children's oral medical devices, as well as all products on record, regular and reliable use is also assured.
The handle is in a six-diamond shape, so that that handle is comfortable to hold and is not easy to take off;
Material: medical grade stainless steel (whole), wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant, non-toxic and rustless;
No.9 knife (# 9 for short), flat head, suitable for removing dental calculus;
No.3 knife (# 3 for short), with curved tip, is suitable for cleaning residues between teeth and crushing extra-thick dental calculus;
Length: 15 cm, # 9 head width: 3mm, diameter: 7 mm, similar to the length of a general pencil, comfortable and easy to use;
Weight: 29g/piece The stainless steel material has a certain weight in hand, and I like this kind of object that does work and has texture;
Left: Five sides of the hand-held part are arranged neatly with cutting anti-skid strips, which have certain friction and are not easy to get rid of, and the operation is controllable;
Right: one of the edges is engraved with brand LOGO, model, place of origin and CE, which means that it has obtained the safety certification of EU medical devices;
# 9 has a 40 ° angle section, which is just suitable for scraping flat teeth. # 3 has a 65 ° -70 ° angle section, which is very sharp and suitable for thinning dental calculus;
The length of the cutter head is 3cm, the length is moderate, the hardness of the stainless steel is very high, and there is no soft feeling when pressing hard in the use process;
The hand is just held at the handle, so that the line is not crossed at all, the force is easy, the force is uniform, the cutter head is sharp, and the teeth are easily broken and the stones are formed;
Small contrast in shape
Here I have learned about the double-head knife of MIND UP when I bought it. It is characterized by the different lengths of the two heads. The long head feels like a chicken rib when you look at the details page. Because the curvature is too large and the length is too long, you have to hold the steel knife for fine control, which is very inconvenient;
The use of medical devices, I think most girls will be afraid of (in fact, it is similar to the acne needle), below I made a tooth model to demonstrate the use of methods;
Operation method:
① Slight dental calculus, adsorbed on the teeth, will not damage the gums, and can be scraped off by scraping the tool down close to the root of the gums;
② If the dental calculus is serious and has corroded into the gum, use # 3 to go deep into the gum or # 9 to pull it up in the opposite direction. At this time, the gum recedes and separates from the teeth (don't be afraid of bleeding). Find the root and scrape it down;
Practical experience:
① For slight dental calculus:
Prepare paper towels and cotton swabs.
Wipe the saliva from your teeth.
Mild dental calculus or newly produced dental calculus will be loose.
Can be directly scraped;
Use # 9, the area is small, not formed and not completely wrapped, or the plaque is relatively soft, from the root of the gum, scraping down can be removed;
Before and after use comparison chart:
Slight dental calculus is very easy to scrape, three or five times can be scraped clean, the effect is very obvious, timely cleaning is not easy to damage enamel;
② For severe dental calculus:
It needs to be used together with softening toothpaste.
Like Duomeijie and Weibo Green Cross, they all have the function of softening dental calculus.
Do not drink or eat within 30 minutes of applying toothpaste! (Edible)
Depending on the thickness of the dental calculus,
After 14-30 days of use, the dental calculus will slowly loosen.
At this time, a tooth cleaning tool is used for removing;
Smear toothpaste for about 14 days, use # 3 lateral incision to go deep into the gum in parallel, find the top of the calculus and hook it down to the lower part of the gum, and change # 9 to scrape off a large piece of dental calculus;
Finally, in the place where the tooth has a radian, the plane of # 9 can not touch the tiny stones embedded in it, so it needs to use the tip of # 3 to deal with them;
Before and after use comparison chart:
Use a small summary:
The effect can be said to be very obvious, the safety of normal operation is very high, there is no bleeding, if there is bleeding, wipe it clean with a cotton swab in time;
Not only the dog is afraid of going to the hospital, but I am also afraid. It is not easy to drag it into the door to check this or that. After learning it, you can check it every week at home and clean it up at any time. It is much more convenient.
Disinfection method:
You can use alcohol (cotton) to wipe, boil, steam and other basic disinfection methods for medical devices. Do not use corrosive disinfectants;
Curing and receiving:
The scraper head is fine and should not be impacted (like falling to the ground), beaten or scraped with hard objects. It should be thoroughly washed and disinfected after use;
Steel knife is like a kitchen knife. It's a sharp weapon. Don't take it at will. If you drop it, you can't imagine the picture.
Storage can be put into stainless steel bowls or ceramic pots, stainless steel is generally not rusty, if found that the scraper has signs of rust can not be used!
Q: Will the use of a scraper damage the enamel?
A: More or less. After writing this article, I also went to wash my teeth. After the dental calculus grinds down, there will be a fine feeling when I close my mouth. I suggest brushing my teeth again;
Q: Is it necessary to use it with softened toothpaste?
A: Thicker dental calculus is recommended to be used together with toothpaste, otherwise it will aggravate the pain of the dog and cause bleeding easily;
Q: How to guide? What gesture control is easier to operate?
A: Do not use snacks to guide, 2 hours after cleaning before feeding, so as not to increase tooth damage, more talk and eye comfort is better;
A: Cover your eyes with your hands as much as possible to avoid hitting your eyes with violent tools, as shown in the following figure;
The front row of teeth is relatively simple, one hand directly pinches the nose to control the strong (the dog son basically does not move), the other has to feel at ease to scrape;
Q: Can any tooth be treated with a scraper at home?
A: No, check the firmness of the dog's teeth before use. If the teeth are shaky, you can't use a scraper;
Q: What else should I pay attention to?
A: Wash hands before operation. You can also use finger cots. Dental calculus is full of bacteria. Remember to disinfect your hands after operation.
Comparison of similar scrapers:
I have not used them all, and I made a comparison when I bought them. In fact, the scrapers are much the same, and the effect is almost the same. There is a slight difference in durability, convenience and cost performance;
Synthesize afore-mentioned: Scraper had better be 3 months change, star tooth belongs to the practical money with cheap and good quality, modelling is classic, medical tool should be so beautiful also useless;
Comparison of different dental calculus removal products:
Publicity says that they have the effect of removing dental calculus. In fact, the first three are more suitable for daily oral cleaning. The scraper is more targeted at removing foreign bodies in the mouth. His effect is unmatched by the first three. Strictly speaking, they are not comparable. The four are complementary effects. They are indispensable and have to be bought back.
Recommended index: ★
Full marks, conscience recommendation, 30 yuan can not be bought, can not be bought at a loss, cheap and easy to use, the effect is obvious and visible, of course, the knife head will be blunt after a long time, when the time comes to change one, blunt knife waste use to break tape, open the box, very good, not easy to hurt hands, better than scissors, box cutters and so on (after all, not every family is like E pet with a box opener) ~
As an aside:
Q: Many people say that they have to wash their teeth all the time after they wash them. Should they wash them or not?
A: I have asked the doctor that people's dental calculus is usually on the inside where it is not often brushed. Dental calculus can lead to gingival atrophy. If you feel that there is a gap in the gum after scaling, it means that the gum has partially atrophied. The more you do not clean calculus, the thicker it is. On the contrary, the smaller the gum is, the gum urine can not wrap the teeth and is easy to loosen (note that dental calculus has no protective effect). Finally, the old teeth lost dentures can not be installed, tooth washing should be included in the daily oral cleaning;
The New Year is coming soon. I wish you all good teeth, good food and a good laugh.
