Frequently Asked Questions: Frenchton Teeth
Do Frenchtons have dental problems?
Frenchtons have very high dental disease risk from both sides. French Bulldogs and Boston Terriers are both brachycephalic breeds with severely compressed jaws and high periodontal disease rates. Combining them produces a dog with compounded crowding and misalignment risk that demands aggressive daily dental care.
How do I brush a Frenchton’s teeth?
Use a small finger brush — the Frenchton’s flat face means a traditional toothbrush often can’t reach the back teeth. Approach from the side of the muzzle. Daily enzymatic toothpaste application is essential even on days when full brushing is difficult.
How often do Frenchtons need professional dental cleaning?
Every 6 months is the standard recommendation. Dental X-rays at each cleaning help identify bone loss around the chaotically-angled roots that characterise this flat-faced mix. Some Frenchtons need quarterly monitoring.
Do Frenchtons retain their baby teeth?
Yes — retained puppy teeth are common in Frenchtons due to the crowded brachycephalic jaw. Have your vet evaluate at the 6-month puppy exam and extract any retained teeth promptly.
