Thankfully, experts are working on innovative ways to check bear teeth and promote their overall oral wellness.
- Regular dental checkups for bears often involve a bit of a struggle, requiring specialized equipment and trained personnel to handle these massive animals.
- Similar to humans, bear teeth require cleaning to prevent infection.
- Nutrition play a crucial role in maintaining healthy teeth for bears. Providing them with a varied mix of natural foods can help reduce the risk of dental problems.
