Hi,

I brush Padre's teeth about 3-4 times per week. I aim for a daily brush and average out to be about 3-4 times per week. Anyway, his breath has been pretty smelly and I've noticed that there is a small amount of blood on the toothbrush when I brush the right side of his teeth lately. Does anyone know if this could be alarming or not? He had a small amount of blood on the toothbrush when we first started brushing his teeth about 6 months ago.....I just want to make sure he doesn't need a full dental exam, thank you!!!!
