Border Collie periodontitis treatment method

First, rinse the mouth and affected teeth with saline or 2%-3% boric acid water. If there are ulcerative lesions, they should be corroded with 5% silver borate solution before cleaning. Then apply iodine tincture or erythromycin ointment to the affected area. If the gums are enlarged, the excess tissue can be removed using local anesthesia or electrosurgery. After general anesthesia, the diseased tooth and the surrounding tartar are scraped. If the teeth are obviously loose, they should be extracted. Postoperative care should be strengthened and antibiotics should be used throughout the body to prevent infection. Rinse the mouth regularly with salt water and provide soft, easily digestible food to facilitate recovery. Pay attention to oral hygiene at ordinary times, and use rubber toys for pets to chew on to improve the disease resistance of teeth.
