Teddy's gums are white. Why?

After Teddy grows deciduous teeth, the owner should start brushing and washing his teeth regularly. If you don't brush your teeth for a long time, poor oral hygiene will lead to the accumulation of dental plaque and tartar. The breeding of periodontal disease will lead to inflammation, swelling and bleeding of gums, and severe alveolar bone absorption will lead to tooth loosening.

It is suggested that Teddy should do deep tooth washing at least once a year, and the owner should also brush his teeth regularly and cooperate with oral cleaning liquid every day to keep his mouth clean and hygienic.

2. Unbalanced nutrition

Teddy's usual dietary elements should be protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. Partial eclipse or monotonous diet can easily cause gum inflammation. In particular, the lack of vitamin C will cause inflammation and swelling of gums, aggravate the development of periodontitis and even cause scurvy.

The owner should help him understand Teddy's nutritional needs, choose appropriate and balanced dog food, fresh fruits and vegetables, and provide him with enough nutrition.

3. Excessive logging

Teddy usually has a strong desire to chew. When the toys at home don't match, he will try to chew furniture, carpets and other items with his mouth. Teddy's teeth are usually small and sharp, and they are often used to cope with the pressure of chewing. The whitening of gums may be caused by the stimulation and wear caused by excessive chewing, resulting in damage to the surface skin.

The owner should give Teddy enough chewing toys to pass the extra time of the day and try to avoid letting other players have foreign objects.

4. Seasonal change of weather

Gingival whitening is also related to the change of weather season. It is common for Teddy's mouth to be white and damp from the cold winter when the temperature suddenly changes to the warm and cold spring. At present, it is mostly because of the increase of acidic substances in Teddy's body, which leads to the increase of saliva viscosity and the formation of white foam.

This phenomenon usually doesn't last long, so the owner doesn't have to worry too much and can continue to do Teddy's oral care in his daily life.
