my dog has gum disease. i don’t have any money today…can i brush his teeth using human toothpaste?

Q: we were given this dog (a daschound) on easter, already grown up. we found out that his trouble with crunchy dog food is that he has some gum disease. i don’t know much about treating this condition in dogs and would like to know if i can brush his teeth with human toothpaste until i can buy some special for him.

A: First, off, no. Dogs will eat the toothpaste used to brush their teeth, and ingesting human tooth paste can cause GI upset. You need to brush using a special dog formulated tooth paste.Second, brushing will help, however it wouldn’t get all the tartar off the teeth. When the teeth go for a very long time without care, they build up this rock hard tartar on their teeth that can only be removed with specialized dental equipment. You should have your dog evaluated by a veterinarian for a dental prophalaxis. The veterinarian may or may not recommend antibiotics for 5-7 days prior to the procedure depending on the condition of the mouth. If there is severe pocketing, gingivitis, tartar or extractions required, this is very important. After the teeth are properly cleaned, brushing daily can prevent them from becoming this way again. Using a finger brush and doggy toothpaste and some may recommend a spray. There is even a new vaccine available called Porphamonous (it’s a long name named after the bacteria because it has provisional FDA approval pending long term studies). It’s useful in small breed dog that usually have problems with tartar buildup. It increases the immune response to reduce the number of bacteria that cause tartar formation which eventually lead to loosening of the bone and ligament structures surrounding the tooth that cause dogs to require extractions. A dental prophalaxis must be performed under anesthesia (for cooperation of the pet and safety of those involved) but is well worth it. Depending on your pet’s age, a full blood panel, and possibly chest radiographs are warrented to ensure a safe anesthetic procedure. This just proves there is no such thing as a free pet. Good luck.
