Hazards and prevention of double-row teeth in pet dogs

Puppies usually start changing teeth when they are two months old. When they are 4-6 months old, the breast teeth in the oral cavity begin to fall off and the permanent teeth begin to grow. If calcium deficiency is present, the mast teeth will not fall off, the permanent teeth will grow slowly, the enamel layer is thin, and the structure is not solid, making it easy to have double rows of teeth or uneven permanent teeth. By 8-9 months old, all the breast teeth should fall off and replace them with flawless, permanent teeth. However, some puppies have slow teeth development and permanent teeth fail to lift off their deciduous teeth, which will cause double-row teeth.

Newborn puppies have no teeth. As the dog grows day by day, the teeth in the oral cavity will slowly begin to grow. Due to calcium deficiency or other reasons, dogs will grow slowly, have thin enamel layer and unsolid structure, so dogs will also grow double rows of teeth.

The hazards of dogs having double-row teeth:

1. Those breast teeth that have not fallen off normally will affect the normal development of permanent teeth, which will lead to severe deformity in dog bites, which will affect the dog's daily diet.

2. Another danger of double-row teeth is that it is easier to retain dirt, and food residue is more likely to be left between the two juxtaposed teeth, and it will be more difficult to clean, which will greatly increase the chance of bad breath and oral diseases in pet dogs.

3. Double rows of teeth can easily cause bacteria to grow in the mouth. In severe cases, it will cause gastrointestinal discomfort in the dog, and over time it will form periodontal disease, which may eventually lead to difficulty in eating, which will affect the lifespan of 1-2 years.

Solutions for dogs to grow double-row teeth:

1. During the process of dogs growing teeth and changing teeth (starting at 2 months old), do not give them those soft foods, but let them eat some drier dog food. And ensure the dog's intake of calcium nutrition. At that time, I have eaten a lot of super calcium and shark cartilage powder, and I have not grown double rows of teeth.

2. During the process of a pet dog growing teeth and changing teeth, you must pay close attention to whether it can replace all its teeth normally. If you find a problem, you must solve it in time to prevent the occurrence of double-row teeth.

3. During the process of dogs growing teeth and changing teeth, you can prepare some bone biting and glue for the dog to bite. Use ropes to play tug-of-war games with them, and often use your hands to move your dog's baby teeth to loosen it.

PS: If your baby dog ​​still has double rows of teeth after 1 year old, then don’t be depressed. Take it to the dentist quickly. If necessary, remove the dog’s baby teeth.
