Nowadays, more and more people are raising dogs, and many friends will have this question: Why do dog teeth become loose? What causes loose teeth in dogs? Next, let’s take a look at the causes of loose teeth in dogs.

Dogs are born without teeth. When they are three to five weeks old, their deciduous teeth will grow together. Then as they grow older, the baby teeth will fall out and the permanent teeth will grow in. Therefore, it is normal for the baby’s teeth to become loose during the puppy teething period.

In addition to the normal loss of the dog's teeth, there may also be loosening caused by the injury of the dog's teeth. If there are other reasons for loose teeth, it is usually related to oral disease, usually periodontitis or periodontal infection.

If your dog’s teeth and mouth are not cleaned regularly, plaque and tartar will accumulate around the teeth, which will cause periodontal disease over time. If left untreated, bacterial and fungal infections can affect the sockets and eventually your dog's teeth will loosen and fall out.

This situation is quite serious. You need to take your dog to the hospital for a dental cleaning to remove tartar and plaque from the mouth. If you have a dog in the future, remember to brush your teeth regularly, otherwise you will still have oral and dental problems due to insufficient cleaning.

The above are all the reasons why dogs’ teeth are loose and smelly~ Do all pet owners understand it?
