What should I do if my pet has periodontitis? How to care for a dog with periodontal disease?

Whether it is a dog or a cat, there will be oral problems, and I personally feel that if the cat's oral problems are serious, it is good to have a full mouth tooth extraction. My family had recurring oral problems, and finally I had a full tooth extraction. Now the problem is solved.

I remember that there are a few in Shenzhen that can do pet tooth extraction, Nanshan is Wuhuan, Longgang is Fuhua, and the others are not very clear!

It is recommended to take it to the local pet hospital to have a look, and of course the toothache refuses to eat.

Prevention and control measures for canine periodontitis:

1. Remove the dog's plaque, calculus and food residues under anesthesia. Care should be taken to remove plaque and calculus from the root surface of the tooth below the tooth margin (i.e., in the peridental pocket).

2. Polishing all tooth surfaces as much as possible to prevent plaque and calculus from accumulating and bonding.

3. Extract loose teeth. For persistent periodontitis that does not heal for a long time, the tooth concerned should be extracted. If the gums are enlarged, excess tissue can be removed by electrocautery.

4. Apply iodine glycerol after surgery. Systemic antibiotics, B-complex vitamins, niacin, etc.

It may be because the dog's diet is not normal, and the dog is not given the vitamins and trace elements needed by the body in time or the dog's teeth are not cleaned and hygienic enough.

Because many of our dogs' bacteria enter through the mouth, they are prone to periodontitis; If you have periodontitis, you should remove the food waste left on your teeth in time and reduce inflammation in time.

Wash the mouth and affected tooth with saline solution or 2% 3% boric acid water. If there is an ulcer foci, it should be corroded with 5% silver borate solution before cleaning. Apply iodine tincture or erythromycin ointment to the affected area.

If the gums are already hypertrophied, excision or electrocautery can be performed after local anesthesia to remove excess tissue.

Periodontitis in dogs is likely to be caused by too much dental calculus, first of all, to eliminate calculus and food residues, be careful not to damage the soft tissue and tooth enamel layer, and extract loose teeth that are about to fall out and residual baby teeth. Then rinse with saline, then use a pet-specific oral spray, along with oral antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs. During the ** period, the dog should be given liquid food or soft food until the gums heal.

If there is periodontitis in dogs, if there is not much calculus and plaque in the teeth, then it can be directly anti-inflammatory and anti-infection, and used with oral sprays. If the condition of the teeth is not good, then you also need to have a dental cleaning surgery to remove the calculus, and then carry out anti-inflammatory**, you must pay attention to your diet in the later stage, you can feed the tooth cleaning stick to clean the teeth, and you can brush your teeth if possible.

The best way to treat periodontitis in dogs is to go to the hospital for cleaning to remove plaque, stones and food residues from dogs; extraction of loose teeth; After surgery, iodine glycerin was applied, and systemic antibiotics, vitamin B-complex, niacin, etc. were applied. Frequent examinations of the mouth and teeth, and regular cleaning of tartar with gauze.

For periodontitis that does not heal for a long time, the tooth in question should be extracted. If the gums are hypertrophied, the excess tissue can be removed with an electric knife, disinfected with iodine glycerin, and then systemic antibiotics, oral vitamin B, niacin, etc.

Proper medication can effectively help us solve the problem of periodontal disease in dogs, such as amoxicillin, etc., to ensure the oral health of our dogs.
