Frequently Asked Questions: Cavachon Teeth
Are Cavachons prone to dental disease?
Cavachons inherit small mouths from both the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and Bichon Frise parents, making dental crowding and disease very common.
How often should I brush my Cavachon’s teeth?
Daily brushing is essential for Cavachons. Their small, crowded mouths accumulate plaque rapidly.
How many teeth does a Cavachon have?
Adult Cavachons have 42 permanent teeth packed into a small jaw, which is why dental crowding is such a significant concern.
Do Cavachons need regular dental cleanings?
Yes — most Cavachons need professional dental cleanings under anesthesia every 6–12 months due to their high dental disease risk.
