It doesn’t matter if a dogs teeth are bright white that makes no difference in the tooths function. Tarter on the teeth is a different story are your dogs gums red and inflamed? You said the breath is not bad does the dog have trouble chewing his food? Sometimes dogs have a skin coloration on the gums has nothing to do with dental health. I would go with what your Vet says. I’m not even sure a dogs teeth need brushed that often? I have never brushed any of my dogs teeth I provide them with things to chew on and I have never ever needed a dental cleaning on any of them!
Boxer oral questions
I have two boxers:
Scooby- perfect gums & teeth. Bright white teeth, perfect pink gums, overall perfect health.
Arlo- same way, but one side of his mouth seems to have problems.
both dogs have their teeth brushed 3 times a week, fed the same food. When Arlo was younger, he had a very badly infected tooth. It was pulled while he was under for being neutered. Vet said it was bad, but it’s gone now no issues. 6 months later, teeth around it have a dark grey buildup around them. His mouth doesn’t smell bad, but I don’t understand why his teeth aren’t bright white like my other. I believe it might be getting worse. My vet is convinced I’m over thinking it and says some browning around dogs teeth is ok. I don’t like that at all.
any recommendations? Take him to a vet to do a teeth cleaning? Just keep brushing and hope it goes away?
Any advice is appreciated, thanks!
