Ginger biscuits for teething pups or oldies with worn teeth
Ginger is good for sore teeth and gums and chamomile is a calmer and reduces anxiety. Chamomile tea is made by steeping dried chamomile in hot water and straining but you can buy chamomile tea bags.
A slice of ginger root rubbed on gums will bring immediate relief for sore gums.
These biscuits that are crunchy on the outside but softer in the middle are good for teething puppies or oldies who may have worn teeth and sore gums with the added benefit of sweet-smelling breath.
This can be made in a food processor, but it’s easy to do by hand. I’m also using a large biscuit cutter but use any size you like. They should be quite large though.
