Cleaning a Dragon's teeth

magpieandstuff · Feb 25, 2017

Does anyone clean their bearded dragon's teeth? Reptar has black rings around his teeth, right at the gum line. His vet always checks his mouth when Reptar goes in for a check up, and he has never said anything about his teeth. I am assuming this means that his teeth are fine, but I am wondering if I should still try to clean them.

Do you clean your dragon's teeth? If so, how?

I don't clean them unless something looks wrong. Offering them hard shelled bugs in their normal diet is a good way for them to clean debris from their teeth naturally. This includes roaches or an occasional buffalo beetle (cleaner crew). If you still see buildup you could use a curved plastic syringe to power wash the gums a bit with some water. You can also use a q-tip with some MaxiGuard on it to clean teeth and gums and help prevent buildup of bacteria to prevent infection.

No never cleaned any of my lizard's teeth.

Never needed to , if the lizard eats lots of insects in it's diet , the crunchy exoskeletons and legs will keep the teeth clean.

Lizards are unlikely to develop tooth decay unless they get too much fruit and berries in their diet.
