Did you know that just like human-animal teeth, dogs, to be specific, also experience tooth problems? Dogs also experience periodontal disease like humans if you do not care for their oral health.
According to the American Veterinary Dental Society, more than 80% of dogs show signs of oral disease by the time they are three years old.
Yes, that's why taking care of your dog's oral health is essential, as, by the time you notice, your German shepherd or puppy might be losing his teeth.
Before we discuss how you can care for your pet's teeth, let's find out what dental disease looks like in pets.
How Does Dental Disease Look In Dogs?
Oral disease, whether in dogs or humans, looks quite the same, starting from plaque formation. Just like the humans, the canines of the dogs begin to look yellow, indicating that plaque is slowly building up.
This plaque, over time, turns into the tartar above the gumline of your dog. If the tartar invades the gumline of your dog, that's where the real problem starts. Your dog's gums become inflamed and swell up, and at this point, your dog is in a lot of pain.
You will start noticing various symptoms of gingivitis, from bad breath to bleeding gums, etc.
Why Taking Care Of Your Dogs Oral Health Is Important?
Taking care of your dog's oral health is immensely important, as, by the time you notice the signs, your dog might be on the verge of losing his teeth as the gums start to leave the teeth. Moreover, if not treated, the bacteria can invade the bloodstream, which in turn can cause more significant health issues. For example, bad teeth can be a cause of:
• Heart disease
• Cancer
• Liver disease
• Diabetes
• Kidney disease
Periodontal disease, if not treated at the right time, can lead you to lose your dog. That's why the prevention of these diseases is essential.
Can Organic Ingredients Help In Treating Gingivitis?
Yes, gingivitis can be treated with organic and natural ingredients, and some essential oils also help relieve the symptoms. That is because the natural elements do not have any side effects and are 100 percent safe.
Natural Ingredients To Use For Your Dogs Oral Health
• Purified Water
Keeping the hydration levels of your dog maintained can also help in fighting decaying teeth. Purified/ filtered water with the right pH is suitable for your dog's teeth and will pose no problem.
• Organic Coconut Oil
Organic coconut oil has been used for centuries for oral hygiene, and some recent research has shown that swishing coconut oil can help treat oral problems. It reduces harmful bacteria, helps with bad breath, and prevents gingivitis.
• Organic Coriander
Coriander is not just a cooking ingredient but has also been beneficial for oral hygiene problems. Coriander oil is excellent for treating oral infections, and due to its calming effect can help your pet with its inflamed gums. Moreover, its antiseptic and calming properties are also great for toothaches in humans and dogs.
• Organic Myrrh
Myrrh is undoubtedly the best ingredient for loosening teeth due to gingivitis and has been proven to be a significant natural element to help with oral diseases. Even if your dog has a swelling toothache problem, you can apply it directly to his teeth and gums, and he will feel instant relief.
• Baking Soda (Non-Aluminum)
There is this false perception that baking soda is not suitable for teeth. This is false, as non-aluminum baking soda can help with gingivitis and tooth decay problems. It is more of a preventive ingredient. Baking soda discourages plaque formation, which in turn can be good in preventing gingivitis.
