Why Should You Brush Your Golden Retriever's Teeth?

Your dog has a lot of teeth in his mouth.

And, he needs all of those teeth to chew his food, pick things up, play, express his feelings, and protect himself and you. Dogs use their mouths and teeths more than humans do which is why you need to take care of them.

Your dog’s teeth are actually very prone to bacterial growth which can lead to infections and nasty diseases. This is mainly due to the fact that bacteria tend to accumulate in the crevices of your dog’s teeth which, if left unchecked, leads to:

• Loose teeth
• Cavities
• Gum disease
• Periodontal disease

Since dogs are wild animals, they don’t really show any signs of weakness that’ll make them prone to attack. So, your Goldy won’t let you know he’s in pain until it's too severe that he can’t even bear it!

So, what can you do right now?

As you know, prevention is better than cure so, you can brush your dog’s teeth on a regular basis to ensure everything’s okay.
