Causes of tooth loss in dogs

1. Physiological tooth loss: occurs in adolescence, that is, deciduous teeth fall out and new teeth grow.

2. Traumatic tooth loss: It is caused by severe impact and other reasons, which will seriously damage the dog’s gums and other parts.

3. Pathological tooth loss: mainly due to diseases such as dental calculus, gingivitis and periodontitis. It is recommended to consult a pet doctor.

Treatment of dog tooth loss

1. The correct treatment method is to implant the canine teeth in their original positions and use a certain method in the mouth. These fixed devices are installed for 4 to 6 weeks to ensure that the position of the teeth is fixed during the healing period.

2. For most lost teeth and all torn teeth, when the reimplanted teeth have been fixed to the alveolar, root canal treatment is required to remove the fixation device.

3. Teeth loss due to old age is a natural condition and there is no solution. Elderly dogs should be fed more liquid food, or food that is easy to chew, with small amounts and frequent meals.

4. If the teeth are loose or even displaced or lost due to trauma, treatment measures must be taken quickly. If a tooth is lost, you need to quickly soak the lost tooth in milk, and then quickly send it to the hospital for dental implantation. Do not delay for too long.
