Species: Dog
Condition: Teeth Abnormalities
Organ System: Respiratory
A variety of hereditary and acquired teeth problems, involving one or several teeth. Some of them pose aesthetic and some functional issue for the animal, making it difficult to eat or drink properly. There are disorders in teeth number; they can be missing or duplicated. Abnormality of the tooth crown leads to infection and inflammation of the tooth pulp. Many dogs are very prone to periodontal (gum) inflammations and subsequent complications. All teeth problems require veterinary examination and proper treatment depending on the case.
