1. **Bad Breath**: While dogs can have a distinct smell, an unusually foul odor from your Boxer's mouth can indicate dental issues such as periodontal disease.
2. **Red or Swollen Gums**: Healthy gums should be pink. If you notice redness or swelling, it may be a sign of gingivitis or other gum diseases.
3. **Difficulty Eating**: If your Boxer seems to be struggling while eating or avoids hard food, it could be due to pain from dental issues.
4. **Excessive Drooling**: While some drooling is normal, an increase in saliva production can indicate discomfort or pain in the mouth.
5. **Loose or Missing Teeth**: Check for any loose teeth or if your dog is missing teeth, which can be a sign of advanced dental disease.
6. **Chewing on One Side**: If your Boxer prefers to chew on one side of their mouth, it may indicate pain or discomfort on the other side.
7. **Behavior Changes**: If your dog becomes more irritable, less active, or shows signs of discomfort when their mouth is touched, it may be due to dental pain.
Regular dental check-ups and at-home dental care, such as brushing your Boxer's teeth and providing dental chews, can help prevent these issues and maintain their oral health.
