Signs of Dental Problems
All pets are at risk for developing dental problems, so it is important for owners to have their pets examined by a veterinarian annually to detect problems early. It also is important for owners to check their pets often between visits for these warning signs:
Red or bleeding gums
Blood on a chew toy
Vocalizing when they yawn or eat
Loose teeth
Bad breath
Lumps or bumps in the mouth
Ropey or bloody saliva
Head shyness (your pet not wanting you to touch their head)
Difficulty picking up food
Chewing on one side of their mouth
Nasal discharge and sneezing (advanced gum disease in the upper canine teeth can lead to bone loss between the nasal and oral cavity)
Too often, pet owners attribute these symptoms to aging. Also keep an eye out for discolored teeth, broken teeth, loose teeth, or rotated teeth. All are signs of teeth gone bad.
There's a lot that can happen in your pet's mouth -- and almost all of it can easily go undetected.
