Why do you have bad breath?
Yiyi has halitosis since childhood, because when she was 4 months old, she hung saline for 10 days in the hospital. At that time, the saline was poisonous and had corroded the root, so her teeth were not very good. With the growth of age, only more careful care at ordinary times can maintain a basic state, which is no way. In addition to this, there are more problems caused by not paying attention to living habits at ordinary times. Let's take a closer look at the following details;
1. Do not brush teeth/miscellaneous food
Dogs are omnivorous animals, mostly meat, some families will take homemade as the staple food, dogs often eat thin and soft food, so the food residue in the teeth will be larger than eating dry dog food;
2. Gastrointestinal problems
The gastrointestinal tract and digestive tract are not good, the food is not fully digested, and even serious acid reflux and vomiting in dogs, including sick dogs, can lead to bad breath in dogs.
3. Dental calculus, gingivitis and other problems
Long-term non-cleaning of teeth, resulting in tartar, and then from tartar to dental calculus, in the cause of gingivitis and other oral lesions, is also the main cause of halitosis;
The solution
1. Pay attention to food choices
Many owners particularly dote on their dogs, often feeding them human food or homemade steamed bread, which can be used as a life condiment but not as a staple food. They should refuse to feed them every day, such as nougat, gummy candy, egg tarts, which are sticky and sweet! On the contrary, dogs who often eat dry dog food will have a healthier mouth.
If the tooth has been decayed, it can be removed with a scraper on the surface of the dentin. If the root has been corroded, you can only go to the hospital to fill the tooth or pull it out. (At present, there are few hospitals that can fill the tooth for dogs.
2. Make brushing your teeth a daily routine
Whether you eat dry food or wet food, as long as you eat something, there will be residues in your teeth. Brush your teeth as part of your daily work. Cultivate your dog's habit of brushing his teeth from an early age. After eating canned food and soft meat, you must brush your teeth on the same day. 2-3 times a week, the dog's bad breath will be greatly improved;
After brushing one's teeth, halitosis is greatly improved, but it is difficult to treat dental diseases by brushing one's teeth. It is not realistic to brush off the big black decayed teeth and dental calculus. Brushing one's teeth is a defensive but incurable type, so it is recommended to cultivate brushing one's teeth from an early age;
3. Feed probiotics
Dogs with bad breath caused by bad gastrointestinal tract can be fed probiotics to recuperate. The reaction is obvious, such as "soft stool", "slight vomiting (vomiting will eat back)", "slight stomach twitching", which is basically a gastrointestinal problem, and can also be treated by feeding probiotics;
3. Remove dental calculus
Bacteria accumulated in oral diseases can cause many physical diseases, such as heart valve infection, sepsis, liver abscess, osteomyelitis, etc. Dental calculus is the biggest culprit of oral diseases!
Dental calculus, can go to the hospital to deal with, can also be handled by themselves, buy a handy steel knife, one is my own knife, the effect is still very significant, and hospital operation is the same; if more serious, need to go to the hospital anesthesia tooth washing, can also be removed;
Remind parents
If halitosis is very serious, it may be caused by tumors and ulcers in the mouth, which are also one of the important causes of halitosis. Many sublingual cysts (hematoma) can also cause oral odor. It is recommended to seek medical examination in time and treat them as soon as possible;
