Your dog's teeth and their care are vital in terms of keeping your dog healthy and prevent disease. Periodontal disease (gum) is the number one problem diagnosed in dogs; at the age of three years, 80% of dogs have some form of periodontal disease.

Early dog with deciduous (baby) teeth similar to people. The first teeth erupt between the third and sixth weeks-four months after the puppies begin to lose these baby teeth and get the total number of 42 adult teeth by the age of 6-7 months. Some dogs have baby teeth don't fall out (retained), and these can be extracted in a simple procedure from your veterinarian during the spay or neuter at 6-7 months.
Most dental problems happen after adult teeth are formed. Plaque, a thin layer of bacteria builds up on your teeth, then progresses to Tartarus, which leads to gum inflammation. Bacteria grows even under the gum line, gum infection (gingivitis) which can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Other dental problems include broken teeth, which can show how to be painful to chew. Tooth root abscess are infections that are the root of the tooth; may cause swelling under the eye.

They are more abrasive on teeth and some contain an enzyme that reduces the formation of tartar. These foods are available at your local veterinarian.
Natural diets. RAW meaty bones and windpipes from cows or pigs can help keep your teeth clean. If your dog swallows chunks and shards of bone, he is at risk of obstruction, so don't give him bones. Some dogs love chicken necks. To exclude the risk of Salmonella (a bacterial infection), put the bones or windpipes in boiling water for 30 seconds.
Healthy treats. Raw vegetables, such as carrots are delicious, low calorie which can help clean your teeth. If your dog loves them, then feed on.
