Periodontitis in dogs is probably caused by too many dental calculus. During treatment, dental calculus and food residue should be excluded first, and care should be taken not to damage the soft tissue and enamel layer of teeth, and to remove loose teeth and residual deciduous teeth. Then rinse your mouth with salt water, rinse your mouth with special oral spray for pets, and take antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs orally. During the treatment, dogs should be given liquid food or soft food until their gums heal.

Dogs with periodontitis will have bad breath, salivation and swelling, soft teeth, exposed roots, loose teeth and purulent secretions at the gums. The dog is hungry and wants to eat. Eating is too painful. When food enters the mouth, it will suddenly howl when it stimulates the pain in the inflammatory area. Oral salivation can make dogs often stick out their tongues, and the oral mucosa, tongue, soft palate, hard palate and gums have different degrees of swelling and ulceration.
