Did you know that research indicates that around 80 percent of pets (including Airedale Terriers) three years and older will most likely develop some form of gingivitis in their lifetime? If you suspect gingivitis in your Airedale Terrier, check for the following symptoms: red or swollen gums, inflammation, and irritated gums. Inflammation is especially present on the side of the gums facing the inner cheek. Call your vet to schedule an exam. If your vet concludes your Airedale Terrier has gingivitis then you should start taking steps to help fight the disease. For instance, try brushing your Airedale Terrier’s teeth at home on a regular basis. You should also schedule more frequent professional teeth cleanings with your vet. Other steps to take towards treating and reversing gingivitis include the possible removal of overcrowded teeth or baby teeth that are present in your adult Airedale Terrier. Schedule an appointment with your veterinary clinic Colorado Springs, CO for an exact treatment plan.
