All About Dental Health For Your Dog
Dogs have 28 deciduous teeth (temporary) and
42 permanent teeth. Deciduous or "milk" teeth
begin to appear when a puppy is about four weeks
of age, and are lost gradually between 14 and 30 weeks
of age. During this time, puppies may eat slightly
less and chew more.
Common signs of dental problems in dogs include:
Loss of appetite,
Red, swollen and bleeding gums,
Drooling,
Blood in the saliva,
Yellow-brown tartar at the gum line,
Broken teeth,
Foul breath
Dogs sometimes suffer from broken teeth, often a
result of biting on sticks or rocks. A cracked or
broken tooth in a dog can be painful if the nerve tissue
is exposed; if it becomes infected, there is the
danger of the infection spreading through the bloodstream.
Prompt veterinary attention is recommended.
To ensure your dog's dental health, they require dental care
on a regular basis. Otherwise they may develop problems.
Dental problems may also result from injury, foreign bodies
such as porcupine quills or foxtail, malnutrition or systemic
diseases which infect the mouth as well as other parts of the
body.
Occasionally a puppy or kitten will retain some deciduous
(baby) teeth after the permanent teeth have appeared.
This may damage the soft tissues of the mouth
and may even accelerate wear of permanent teeth. A
veterinarian should be consulted to determine
whether or not removal is necessary.

Tooth and Gum Disease in Dogs
By: Dr. Jane Bicks
Tooth and gum disease can be dangerous to your dog's
health.
When left untreated, the harmful bacteria caused by
this disease can enter the blood stream and travel
to the major organs, such as the kidney liver, and
heart....causing illness and even death.
Gum disease in dogs begins with the formation of plaque, a
sticky film of bacteria that forms in the mouth
at the gum line.
Plaque hardens into tartar which harms the gums
causing them to become red and swollen, known as
gingivitis.
If left untreated, gingivitis will lead to gum
or periodontal disease.
Periodontal disease can involve infections of the
bone that hold the teeth in place, resulting in
loss of bone, which can cause the teeth to fall out.
What You Can Do
My Delicious and Nutritious Dental Treats are the ticket!
This unique triple action formula contains a patented
plaque fighting ingredient found in
many human oral hygiene products such as toothpaste.
This coating interferes with the buildup of plaque
by making the mouth surfaces slick so the plaque
won't stick. Based on human studies, this ingredient
helps reduce plaque from 35 to 54%.
My Dental Treats for dogs also contain calcium and phosphorus
both essential minerals that promote strong, healthy
teeth and bones. And Parsley, an herb with high
chlorophyll content that has a natural freshening
power to help sweeten unpleasant breath.
These Dental Treats for dogs are so Delicious...dogs won't
know they're So Good for them!

I wonder if other dogs think poodles are members
of a weird religious cult.

Ricky, Jimmy, and Stewy were on the bus home from elementary
school, when a fire engine zoomed past their bus with blaring sirens.
The three kids noticed a Dalmatian dog on the front seat of
the fire engine, and Ricky said: "They use that dog to
keep crowds back."
"No," said Jimmy, "he’s just for good luck."
But Stewy knew better: "No, the dog is giving them directions to
the nearest fire hydrant."
