Jackie Brown’s article, “Dog tooth infection signs and treatments,” includes information about home remedies. He engages the expertise of John Huff, DVM, FAVD, Dipl. AVDC, to discuss dental challenges.
Huff explains, “If you think your dog might have a tooth infection, don’t try to treat it at home. All the brushing in the world doesn’t correct the infection. Instead, make an appointment with your veterinarian right away.”

Your dog can break a tooth without you even knowing it. The most common culprit is chewing on objects that are too hard for your particular dog’s teeth, which could be common dog-chew items like tennis balls, deer antlers, pig’s ears and rawhide. Check with your veterinarian for his recommendation on what chew items are best for your dog’s teeth.
