Ethnographic accounts, classic and contemporary, are both descriptive and interpretive; descriptive, because detail is so crucial, and interpretive because the ethnographer must determine the significance of what he or she observes without gathering broad, statistical information.
Mouthing is when a dog puts his teeth and mouth over a personâs skin while using little or no pressure from his jaw. Itâs not to be mistaken for aggressive biting, which is done out of fear or frustration.
In addition to bad breath, a dog with gum disease may have trouble eating and might favor one side of the mouth. 1  Watch for changes in the way your dog chews or handles its food as these may also be signs of poor oral health. Other signs of gum disease include brown, gray or yellow discoloration on the teeth and red, swollen gums.
