I told myself when I got an english bulldog I would "do everything right". This meant daily tooth brushing. At least that was my plan.
Despite countless attempts, I simply can't do it. I have given up. I try to get in there and I can't get "coverage" to ensure he's getting a good tooth brushing.
Its too hard. I've conquered all the other bully challenges. Even the nail clipping hell. But this I can't do.
Dental health is hugely important for good health and longevity.
Poor dental health leads to inflammation of gums, etc leads to systemic infections, which can lead to heart problems, and generalized inflammation that can branch off to disease.
I realize there are chew toys, but that doesn't give me peace of mind that his teeth and gums are in *optimal* condition.
I considered taking him to get it done but it seems stupid that they charge $10 or $15 for a 2 minute process.
I can see $5 maybe ... and having someone do it a couple times a week. An expert, who really does it good.
I was going to do a "monthly deep cleaning" for him, but my understanding is they need to use sedatives or anesthesia. is that true?
