# Dog Bad Breath Treatment in Thailand
"Dog breath" isn't always normal. In many cases, halitosis is the first clue of periodontal disease—plaque and tartar buildup that inflames gums and can progress to deeper infection.
Common Causes
The most common cause is periodontal disease from plaque and tartar buildup. Other important causes:
- Foreign material stuck in the mouth
- Kidney or liver disease (ammonia-like odors)
- Diabetes (sweet/acetone odor)
- Oral tumors (especially in older dogs)
Diagnosis
What a clinic visit usually includes:
- Full oral exam (checking for painful teeth or masses)
- Plan for dental cleaning under anesthesia
- Dental X-rays to assess below the gumline
Treatment
Professional dental cleaning under anesthesia:
- Thorough cleaning/polishing above and below gumline
- Dental X-rays to evaluate each tooth
- Extractions if needed for diseased teeth
- Post-cleaning home care plan
