Why is my dog constantly pawing at its mouth? What should I do?

Question

My dog is constantly pawing at his mouth. This happens every second. I tried looking at her gums to see if there was any bruises, but, there wasn't any. Please help me with the best answer. Thank? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 3 years and 1 month old | 28 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This may be due to something affecting the mouth such as dental disease, inflammation or even a growth causing discomfort. I recommend that you have her evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to check what is going on so that therapy can be started. Best of luck!
