Dental abnormalities refer to congenital or acquired malformations of the teeth and jaw structure, affecting the skeletal and digestive systems of the mouth. This includes malocclusions, which are misalignments where the upper and lower teeth do not meet properly, as well as missing or extra teeth. These structural issues can interfere with normal chewing and cause teeth to rub painfully against the sensitive tissues of the mouth.
Owners typically notice these issues during puppyhood or when permanent teeth emerge, usually between four and seven months of age. Common signs include visibly crooked teeth, difficulty chewing, dropping food, excessive drooling, or bleeding from gum injuries.
The condition is highly treatable, ranging from simple tooth extractions to orthodontic corrections, which are typically one-time procedures, though some dogs require ongoing dental monitoring. Treatment costs generally range from 200 to 2500 EUR depending on the severity.
