Double rows of teeth are a dental "disease" encountered by dogs during their growth, and it is also a headache for many shovelers. Compared with other oral diseases, the presence of double-row teeth will not cause much pain to the dog, but it will indirectly affect the lifespan of the dog.
What are the specific reasons for double tooth discharge?
Usually, when dogs are four to six months old, the breast teeth inside the oral cavity begin to fall off, and their permanent teeth also begin to grow. During this tooth replacement period, if you do not pay attention to their daily feeding, it will easily cause breast teeth to fall off, and at this time, it is more likely to have double-row teeth.
Calcium deficiency is also the main reason for the occurrence of double-row teeth. Because calcium deficiency causes the growth rate of permanent teeth to become slow, and it is not time to lift the mast teeth in the mouth. At this time, the permanent teeth and mast teeth in the mouth coexist, which becomes the double-row teeth we see.
One thing we cannot ignore is that the harm of double-row teeth is very great! The impression of unfallen mast teeth is that the normal development of permanent teeth is that the mast teeth do not fall off, the permanent teeth grow slowly, the enamel layer is thin, and the structure is not solid. It also occupies limited space in the gums. Food residues are also easily left in the teeth of the double row teeth, which leads to the occurrence of tartars and bad breath, and also leads to digestive problems and gastrointestinal conditions of the dog.
Some double row teeth will become a problem that troubles the dog's life after adulthood. When bacteria appear in the dog's mouth, bacterial infection will enter the blood with the mucosa, which will not only affect the dog's heart, but also affect kidney problems. Many dogs will shorten their lifespan. So double rows of teeth can be said to be the biggest oral problem for dogs!
To adjust this situation, you must start with calcium supplementation. You can choose to supplement trace elements or other calcium nutrition for the dog. At least the nutrition of the dog is indispensable, which can help regulate and prevent the occurrence of double-row teeth.
