The X-rays of the front lower teeth showed so little attachment, I am amazed they have kept in so long. There seemed to be little or no bone and mainly ligament and soft tissue,unlike humans whose tooth roots are strongly held into jawbones. The vet said it is usual for toy dogs to have this situation. He said they are often constantly slightly loose. I hope my dog has learned to accept the noisy gardener and not try to get at him, LOL! |
I don't brush either bc I didn't start that when they were puppies. One thing I can recommend is adding Healthy Mouth - it is one of the very few pet health dental products that is VOHC approved:
