Why should you keep your dog's teeth clean?
A dog's teeth are very prone to tartar. A dentition with a high tartar deposit will cause more or less serious diseases for many dogs, such as bacterial infections of sensitive gums. It is therefore important to pay particular attention to your companion's teeth.
How to take care of your dog's teeth?
Food and nutrition
To prevent dental problems, it is important that your dog has a good diet. Indeed, the more the dog chews, the fewer tooth problems it will have. Choose quality and dry diet in most cases.
Brushing
To prevent tartar on your dog's teeth, it is possible to brush its teeth regularly. Depending on the animal, this method can be complex and difficult to implement. It all depends on your companion; a challenging but beneficial task. It is therefore ideal to get it used to it from a very early age.
Bones to chew on
Chewing helps to fight against poor dental hygiene in dogs. So you can buy your dog a bone to chew and give it to it regularly.

Descaling
Scaling remains the most effective solution when the tartar has settled heavily on the dog's teeth. This operation is performed under general anaesthesia by a veterinarian. This is an opportunity to extract any cavities (yes, dogs have some too). There is no ideal age to consider descaling since the appearance of tartar varies according to the breeds and the animal's lifestyle.
