Weird Growth on Dog Teeth?

Hello! I’m sorry to hear about the weird growth on your dog’s teeth. Let’s try to get to the bottom of it together.



There are a few possibilities for what this growth could be. It might be something harmless like a plaque buildup, which is quite common and can appear as a soft, film-like substance. However, if it seems more like a solid lump or bump, it might be an oral mass such as an epulis or even, in some cases, a more serious growth that needs veterinary attention. Oral tumors, though less common, can also appear as growths and sometimes require further investigation.



At home, it might be helpful to gently brush your dog’s teeth using a dog-friendly toothbrush and toothpaste to see if the growth loosens at all. If your dog lets you, have a closer look to note its size, color, and if it appears to be bothering your pet when they eat or play.



Keep an eye out for warning signs like difficulty eating, bleeding, drooling, or bad breath, as these could indicate a more serious issue that needs immediate attention.
