Challenge your dog's toothpaste
Have you ever done it?
To stay healthy forever
Care for teeth and oral cavity is important.
So this time, the risk of neglecting to brush your teeth
I want to do at least
Introducing dental care that you can do at home.
Leaving tartar causes periodontal disease
Like humans, dogs gradually get plaque on their teeth and gums, which harden and turn into tartar. Unlike weakly acidic humans, dog saliva is alkaline with a high pH, so it is said that it changes to tartar faster than humans.
If left untreated, bacteria in the tartar cause inflammation, and in severe cases, it can cause teeth to fall out. These are collectively called "periodontal disease".
May cause other illnesses
Recently, it has also become clear that periodontal disease bacteria can cause other infections and diseases such as internal organs, joints, and bone marrow.
However, the dog cannot be said to the owner as "painful". In some cases, it is progressing when you notice it, and you need to take medical treatment at the hospital. Although it is a dental treatment, depending on the symptoms, general anesthesia may be a burden on the dog.
Therefore, it is important to prevent it by brushing your teeth.
If you are interested, go to the doctor
In some cases, I was worried about the smell of my mouth, and when I went to a veterinary clinic, I had periodontal disease.
If you are worried about even one, get a diagnosis as soon as possible.

How to brush your teeth Basic 3 steps
～ Preparation ～
STEP 1
To touch around the mouth
Get used to
First, let's create an atmosphere where the dog can relax.
While sitting and stroking and touching around the mouth, gradually extend the touching time.
Even if you gently grab the area around your mouth, it would be nice if you don't dislike it.
STEP 2
To touch your teeth and teeth
Get used to
Gently flip over from your lips and touch your teeth and gums.
Use the back of your finger instead of the base.
If you are afraid to reach out from the front, try to move your hand from the front or side of your ear.
Be conscious of touching all teeth and teeth as much as possible with the image of having fun playing.
STEP 3
Toothpaste is fun
Have them remember
If you can smell the toothbrush or play with it, you can let it play. Use a toothbrush to touch the outside of your mouth, or when you get used to it, flip your lips and touch your teeth or gums to put it in your mouth.
When using toothpaste gel, attach the gel to your finger or toothbrush and touch the gums. Get used to the taste and feel.
Points for toothpaste preparation
The first point is to get used to touching the mouth and around the mouth.
The mouth is a place that instinctively feels uneasy and unpleasant for dogs.
Let's practice as a part of communication while giving a snack.
How to brush your teeth Basic 3 steps
～ Practice ～
STEP 1
Brush from canines
If you start brushing with the largest and strongest canines, it will be easier for both your dog and owner to brush. Periodontal disease tends to progress on the front teeth, and adult dogs may dislike it, so in that case it is okay not to brush it forcibly.
POINT
Gently polish without exerting force
Let's polish it gently with the power of "1/10 of human beings". If you brush it hard, it will also lead to the retreat of your teeth.
STEP 2
Brush your molars
While holding down your chin, turn your upper lip and brush your back teeth little by little. Be aware that the 4th anterior molars of the upper jaw (the innermost, visible back teeth) are prone to plaque and tartar.
POINT
Even the small teeth in the back
Let's polish without overlooking
The first posterior molars of the lower jaw (the smallest teeth at the back) are hidden behind the fourth anterior molars of the upper jaw. Let's polish here as well.
STEP 3
Brush the inside of the teeth
Gently lift the upper chin and hold the lower chin with your hand holding the toothbrush to open your mouth. Just brush the back of your upper teeth.
After brushing from the front to the back, continue brushing the lower teeth.
POINT
Toothbrush at a 45 degree angle
easily
Put the tip of the hair in the gap between the teeth and the gums and move it to scrape it out.
Toothpaste points
If the owner says, "I'm going to start brushing my teeth," my dog may also be ready. It would be nice if the dog could be relaxed, such as lying down, hugging, or starting as part of the play.
Toothpaste Q & A
When should I start?
The sooner the better. It's too late
there is no!
It's best to get used to brushing your teeth from the time you were a puppy. That doesn't mean it's too late to start as an adult. Adult dogs may take some time to get used to the toothbrush, but let's do our best!
How much should i do?
Every day is the best, as long as there is no burden.
Twice daily morning and evening is desirable. However, when I started to dislike brushing my teeth, I fell asleep. For children who are not used to it and cannot concentrate, it is okay to polish it separately from "Today's part". As a guide, all teeth should be brushed in about 3 days.
I just brush my teeth
I hate it ...
Other methods without overdoing it.
We also recommend using items other than toothbrushes, such as gauze, mouse spray, and toothpaste gum. Some children take more than a month to get used to brushing their teeth, but first of all, don't dislike your dog and continue dental care with what you like.
