Surprising Facts About Dog Tooth Extraction: 5 Little-K

What Are the Potential Consequences of Dog Tooth Extraction?

One: Impaired Chewing Ability.

After tooth extraction, the affected side may not be able to chew effectively, which can reduce chewing efficiency and affect eating. Additionally, the neighboring teeth might shift towards the extracted area, leading to misalignment of the bite, food impaction, and increased difficulty in daily dental care.

Two: Normal tooth extraction does not affect lifespan,

but if multiple teeth are extracted at once, the reduction in biting and chewing surfaces can lead to inadequate food breakdown, placing a greater burden on the gastrointestinal system.

Three: Excessive tooth extraction can affect the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) function.

While tooth extraction does not necessarily impact lifespan, it can certainly affect the quality of life. If the extraction is not performed professionally and leads to infection, it could even be lifethreatening.

Four: Poor digestion and absorption of food can lead to malnutrition and premature aging of the body.

While early stages of malnutrition may not be noticeable, severe deficiencies can cause pathological changes, potentially affecting the overall quality of life.

Lesions should be extracted promptly after diagnosis; however, teeth with functional capabilities should be selectively preserved based on the actual situation, rather than undergoing widespread extractions.
