Big Smiles for Dental Care
Provide bone materials to dogs that do not have very sharp points, as they may enjoy chewing on them and subsequently swallowing the bitten products. Such activities aid in the natural development of strong teeth. It is important to note that certain breeds of dogs, such as Pekingese, are more susceptible to the development of dental diseases due to the close crowning of their teeth in the oral cavity, owing to their small size. Therefore, these dogs require regular checks for excessive plaque formation.
Recreational raw beef bones are an excellent means of keeping your dog’s teeth clean and free from the formation of plaque, which can harbor bacterial organisms. Teeth brushes are available for use in dogs, but caution must be exercised during their usage. Teeth brushes should be used in conjunction with special kinds of pastes recommended by veterinarians for home use.
Pet shops offer specially formulated food materials that are designed to eliminate tartar and plaque buildup from dogs’ teeth. Additionally, dry dog food and toys that are specifically engineered to strengthen teeth structures are commonly utilized at home to enhance cleaning efficacy. It is imperative to periodically remove plaque materials at home to prevent the onset of periodontal disease, which is prevalent among dogs. Dental wipes are available for purchase at pet shops and may be cautiously employed at home to effectively eliminate loosely attached plaque and tartar-like materials.
