When it comes to your dog, be down in his mouth, literally. You should make weekly inspection of your dog’s teeth and gums so that you can correct a problem before it escalates into an expensive one.
Learn how to brush your dog’s teeth with some regularity. With superior vet care, great nutrition, and parasite control, dogs are living an average of 12 to 15 years. They need a healthy set of choppers to serve them through their golden years.

Biscuit treats and chew dogs don’t in totality give the dental cleaning your dog needs; although they help, they don’t do the whole work. These products work by their abrasive action on the tooth surface. But if you own a hungry canine who inhales his treats, chances are slim to none that any of these teeth-cleaning benefits occurred. Since most plaque and tartar accumulates on and under the gum line and not on the chewing surface of the teeth, treats and chew toys never get the whole job done.

Just like people, dogs develop a plaque film on their teeth after meals. If it’s not regularly removed, the plaque becomes a calcified into tartar, that hard brown crud that appears on your dog’s teeth. Doggy breath develops when the teeth are not clean or when plaque accumulates under the gum line.

So invest in a canine toothbrush and some doggy toothpaste (dentifrice) and get to work. If you’re having trouble, get your vet to show you how it’s done. Be patient and thorough, and your dog will own a winning smile for his lifetime.
