Take good care of your dog\u2019s teeth<\/h2>

Does your dog have bad breath, visible plaque, or difficulty chewing?<\/p>

At Vestjyske Dyrl\u00e6ger, you can receive professional dog teeth cleaning and advice from an experienced veterinarian<\/a>. The treatment takes place at our clinic in N\u00f8rre Nebel, where we welcome dogs from, among other places, Skjern, Varde, and the surrounding areas.\u200b<\/p>

A dog needs regular dental care in the same way as humans do. Toothbrushing, check-ups, and professional cleaning can help prevent tartar, inflammation, and other painful dental problems in dogs.\u200b<\/p>

Preventive dental care for dogs<\/h2>

It is usually easier to prevent problems than to treat them once they have become extensive. A preventive dental check-up makes it possible to detect changes in the teeth and oral cavity before they cause clear symptoms.\u200b<\/p>

Many conditions in the mouth can be difficult to see in an awake dog. A thorough examination may therefore require the dog to be sedated. In some cases, it may also be necessary to take X-rays to examine the tooth roots and the parts of the teeth that are not visible.<\/p>

At our small animal clinic<\/a><\/u>, we can assess your dog\u2019s teeth and advise you on the appropriate dental treatment.\u200b<\/p>

The need depends on the dog<\/h2>

How often a dog needs teeth cleaning depends, among other things, on its size, age, tooth alignment, and oral hygiene. Some dogs quickly develop tartar, while others need professional cleaning at longer intervals.\u200b<\/p>

Small dogs often have an increased risk of periodontal disease, and serious dental problems can occur already at a young age. It may therefore be relevant to have your dog\u2019s teeth examined annually from around one year of age.\u200b<\/p>

Larger dogs can also develop periodontal disease, but they may also experience broken or damaged teeth. It may be relevant to have the first thorough dental examination carried out no later than when the dog is around two years old. After that, teeth cleaning for your dog may be necessary every year or every other year.\u200b<\/p>

These intervals are indicative. The specific need must always be assessed based on the individual dog.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Signs of dental problems in dogs<\/h2>

Dogs do not always show clearly that they have tooth pain. Therefore, it is important to watch for changes in your dog\u2019s behaviour and eating habits.\u200b<\/p>
