  Inflammation of the Soft Tissues in the Mouth in Dogs Print
Treatment
Antibiotics have been proven effective in reducing inflammation of a dog's oral cavity. In some cases, teeth will need to be surgically removed to reduce the inflammation. Teeth cleaning and proper dental and oral health should also ensure a quick recovery and good health for the dog.
Prevention
To prevent inflammation, your veterinarian may recommend that you rinse or brush your dog's mouth. There are also some topical ointments that can be used to reduce or prevent inflammation of the dog's gums.
