Common oral diseases in dogs:
1. Dental calculus: Dental calculus synthesized from food residues and bacteria is the culprit of bad breath in dogs.
2. Periodontitis: Periodontitis involves acute or chronic inflammation of the gums and alveolar bone tissue around the teeth.
3. Dental plaque: If parents have never taken care of their dog’s teeth, there is likely to be plaque caused by food residue and bacteria on the dog’s teeth.
4. Tooth decay: Remaining food residue and unbalanced nutrition can cause tooth decay.
5. Gingivitis: Gingivitis is a precursor to periodontal disease and mostly occurs at the junction of gums and teeth.
6. Broken teeth: Dogs have broken teeth because they naturally like to chew things.
