Healthy teeth contribute to well-being. By incorporating the simple steps recommended by Dr. Kinga Martin, a veterinarian into your daily routine, you can make a big difference in the health and well-being of your dog's teeth. (X)
Since dogs, unlike humans, cannot brush their teeth, more plaque is deposited on their teeth. Plaque is an adhesive film on the teeth that is made up of bacteria, food residue, saliva and other substances. Plaque will easily turn into tartar if not removed regularly, creating a rough surface that allows more plaque to settle. Gum problems usually start with plaque deposition.
The good news is that with proper care for your teeth, oral hygiene problems can be prevented!

Dogs can't tell if something bothers them, so you have to pay attention to their teeth. If you learn to recognize the signs, you can control your oral hygiene problems and prevent many health problems!
If your dog recognizes any of these symptoms, consult a veterinarian immediately.

A daily dental routine ensures a healthy oral cavity and can help your dog live a long and active life. Ideally, daily tasks include brushing your teeth daily, but at least 3-4 times a week. When brushing your teeth, it is extremely important to pay attention to the posterior teeth as these teeth have the greatest chance of plaque deposition and tartar formation.
