Yes, dogs definitely need a dentist. Like people, dogs can be susceptible to gingivitis and other periodontal diseases. It’s important to brush your Basset Hound’s teeth on a routine basis can help prevent plaque build-up, which can be a cause of gingivitis. If you see that your Basset Hound is having trouble eating, chewing or has even developed bad breath call your vet. These could be indications of gingivitis or other periodontal illnesses. If the symptoms are teeth or gum related then your vet may suggest scheduling a trip to the dentist. During the dental exam your Basset Hound may be sedated so that the vet can thoroughly check your pup’s teeth and gums for plaque, bacteria, etc. Your vet may also take this time to scrape excessive plaque, calculus build-up and other debris from your Basset Hound’s teeth. Rotted teeth may also be pulled. Consult with your animal hospital Fredericksburg, TX to learn more.
