My 2 year old dog has a black spot on the top of one of his back teeth and I am wondering if it is a cavity.
Answers:
Dogs have the same problem with their teeth as we do with our except we go to the dentist every 6 months to get our cleaned, hopefully! Small dogs have more teeth problems because they can not get things into their mouths as well as large dogs can to grind the tartar off. Also small dogs with long hair around their mouths tend to get in wrapped around their teeth if not trimmed, that stinks, literally! Teeth ca die and turn black, abscess, need root canals just like us, the sad part is that we only notice those problems when the dogs stops eating or has infection. Talk to your vet about yearly cleanings when your dog gets older it will help you both out.
Pets, like their human owners, can get cavities. However, cavities are relatively rare in dogs because dogs鈥?diets generally are not high in decay-causing sugars.
If he's due for his yearly exam, the vet will check his teeth. He may need a dental cleaning.
Oh yes. Dogs get cavities. They are called carries. It's important to have your dogs teeth cleaned at the vet at least once (twice is best) at a vets office. Dogs gums are looser than humans and food collects in there. It can cause bacteria, and when swallowed (which occurs every time your dog swallows) it can lead to problems with internal organs. Not to mention bad breath. You should take him to the vet for a cleaning.
Yes. My Lhasa Apso had seven bad teeth over her 13 years and I think she may have a couple more. You need to brush their teeth if they will let you.
yes dogs are just like humans abd they can get cavities
Brush your dogs teeth. Go to a pet store and get liver flavored toothpaste. they love it. And give him treats that promote healthy teeth.
