• Signs Your Dog Is Suffering
• From Toothache

• Dental diseases are as common in pets as they are
  in humans. The only difference is that pets cant
  tell you if theyre suffering from any
  periodontal disease. Toothache can be
  debilitating for dogs if you dont pay attention
  to their oral health.
• As a pet parent, you need to look out for any
  signs that indicate your pet might have
  toothache. Its in dogs nature to keep any pain
  hidden, so chances are your Fido will try not to
  let his discomfort show.
• If you are concerned about your dogs dental
  health, continue reading to find out early signs
  and symptoms of toothache in dogs.

Behavioural Changes

• If your dog is affectionate and likes to be
  petted, then suddenly he wont let you pet his
  head, tooth pain could be the reason behind it.
  Toothache might be causing pain so hes afraid
  that it might worsen if you pet him.
• The only way to find out about any pain in dog is
  to observe his behaviour. Dogs act grouchy and
  isolate themselves when theyre not well. If you
  notice any substantial changes in your dogs
  behaviour, visit your vet as soon as you can.

Difficulty In Eating

• Decrease in appetite or eating in a weird way is
  not because your pooch doesnt like the food. He
  must be in pain and thats why he is not eating
  like he used to.
• If dog has pain on one side of the mouth, he will
  chew on the side thats less painful. He might
  also show dislike towards his favourite treats.

5
Bad Breath 

• Bad breath, stringy saliva, and blood from the
  gums are the signs of toothache in dogs.
• If your dog has excessive foul breath, check his
  mouth for any tooth decay or inflammation.
  Healthy dogs will never have bad breath issues.

Runny Nose Frequent Sneezing

• If the tooth decay is not treated, the infection
  will spread and dog can have gum disease.
• This disease can thin the bone between nasal and
  oral cavities.
• It usually occurs in upper canine teeth and
  results in sneezing and nasal discharge in dogs.

Other Relevant Symptoms

• There are some signs of dental disease that
  doesnt indicate toothache but still are
  relevant. Like frequent yawning, excessive
  drooling, scratching ears or the side of the
  face.
• These symptoms are not directly related to dental
  disease, but dogs tend to act in a different way
  to show their discomfort.
• Toothache can be easily prevented by taking care
  of your dogs oral health. Below we have shared
  some helpful tips to prevent toothache in dogs.
