A couple of her front teeth started falling out about 2 years ago (they were white but some of them on the sides were full of tartar and discolored). She had to have nine adult teeth pulled. If Roxy's teeth are falling out at this age (and the gums are receding), I would think it has got to be periodontal disease. Infection can go to her organs if it isn't treated. I'm surprised she doesn't have tartar build-up though.
I'm sorry you are having more problems.
I thought I was doing well with Ellie's teeth but I looked at them all yesterday and am seeing some brown build-up on the bottom.   |
I hate to add one more thing to her list of problems
Honestly, I am really surprised that her whole top row of teeth are having gum issues. She has 6 teeth up front (before her fangs) they each have tremendous space between them, so it's not like they are over crowded. They are pure white, no staining, no plaque or tarter (that I can see) but....they gums are reseeding (on the roof of her mouth part). Her very front teeth are loose, and I fear that the remaining 4 teeth may also have to come out, as the gums are quite reseeded and I guess can or are allowing bacteria in
Her side and back teeth are yellowish stained - but again no tarter or plaque build up ~ as I MUST clean her teeth all the time #1 b/c they have issues and #2 because she will still eat poop from time to time.
For the past year I have also added the Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar to her PM meals, I hope that or the Petz4life that I rub on her teeth are isn't causing her gums to reseed like this
