Symptoms of toothache in dogs: How to tell if your pet needs help?

Symptoms of toothache in dogs: How to tell if your pet needs help?

There are several signs that can help you.

Dental health is directly related to the overall well-being of the body, as even a simple cavity can lead to serious consequences.

If you are unable to regularly inspect your dog’s teeth, it is important to at least understand when they are in pain.

Changes in eating behavior.

If your dog used to devour food quickly but now chews slowly, favoring one side, it is a clear indication of problems.

Your pet may also refuse hard food that it used to beg for or completely stop eating.

Changes in behavior.

In the presence of tooth pain, a dog may behave similarly to a human.

It becomes irritable, shows aggression, or may significantly reduce its activity level and just lie down.

Unpleasant odor.

Cavities and other inflammatory processes make themselves known through a specific odor.

Assess your dog’s breath freshness and consult a veterinarian if you notice any unusual odors.

Excessive drooling can also indicate dental pain, which is a normal response to inflammatory processes in the mouth.
