Chloe and Lacey have their teeth cleaned by me at least twice a week. I started handling them right away, gently messing with their mouth, paws, face etc. I use a little, soft toothbrush but tried the plastic one that fits on your finger too. I have better control when I use a toothbrush. My vet says their teeth look good, but they are still young. Lacey had 3 baby teeth removed today, I just picked her up. She's a little drugged looking to me, sleeping a lot but otherwise seems ok. I don't like that anesthesia stuff but I guess it was the right things to do at 10 months, vet thought her bite could be affected. It's over at any rate. When they have their semi annual checkups, it is one of the things we check out to see if more extensive cleanings are needed. So far, so good. |
