Gum disease in the old dog

Gum disease in the old dog

CASE 1. 14-year-old poodle. Painful mouth

CASE 2. 14-year-old miniature bull terrier. Seizures due to painful mouth.

--------------------

Plaque = soft film made of saliva, mucus, bacteria and food.

Tartar = Hard substance made of calcium and phosphorus. Attracts more plaque. Lead to gum diseases, gingivitis and halitosis. If not checked, will lead to painful periodontal disease.

-------------

Cats

1. Need dental scaling at 3 -4 years of age.

2. Tooth brush for dogs

2. Feline dental treats. Mechanically scrape the deposits from the teeth or chemically (anti-calcium in the saliva) prevent calcium and the resulting tartar from developing on the tooth.

Try different products and see which the cat likes and spend the longest time chewing.

3. Dental water additives. Dental rinses squirt direct onto the tooth. Beneficial enzymes that reduce odour-causing microbes and deter plaque formation.

4. Food additives that support dental care. They are seasweed-based products that go into the blood stream to the cat's saliva to prevent plaque formation and soften existing tartar.

--------------------

Canine

Canine Periodontal Disease

Periodontal disease is the infection of the tooth attachment apparatus (periodontal ligament and jaw bone), caused by bacteria.

Canine Development Problems

When the primary teeth do not fall out on time, there is not enough space for the permanent teeth to move into the correct spot as seen here. The permanent canine teeth are positioned too far in the mouth and closing the mouth can be very painful.

Dogs break their teeth most commonly from chewing on antlers, bone, hard nylon products, ice cubes, and hard plastic toys.

Canine Orthodontics

Although our pets do not wear the same kind of braces like us, "doggie braces" can often correct a malposition tooth, making the mouth comfortable and functional.

Canine Oral Swellings

Swellings in the mouth can come in a variety of shapes and sizes. After determining the cause of the swelling, treatments including surgery, medication and radiation can be considered.

Feline

Feline Periodontal Disease

Periodontal disease is the infection of the tooth attachment apparatus (periodontal ligament and jaw bone), caused by bacteria.

Feline Development Problems

When two teeth share the same space, the main permanent tooth is at risk. Food and debris can get caught between the teeth, making oral hygiene difficult. The teeth are at greater risk for developing periodontal disease.

Feline Tooth Resorption

Half of the cats older than three years will have at least one tooth resorption which when extended to the oral cavity is painful. Treatment is to remove the tooth and root.

Feline Broken Teeth

When a tooth is broken, its nerve and blood vessels are exposed and become infected.

Feline Orthodontics

The lower canine is maligned, bumping into the cat's upper gums every time she closes her mouth. Moving this tooth toward the side of the mouth will allow the cat to close her mouth comfortably and the tooth will regain its function.

Broken jaws are commonly seen in cats that are involved in automobile accidents.

Feline Oral Swellings

Swellings in the mouth can come in a variety of shapes and sizes. After determining the kind of cancer, treatments including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation can be considered.
