Dental care is as important for dogs as it is for their owners. However, dog dental care is often neglected. Regular brushing of the dogs teeth can prevent dog dental problems.

Dog dental disease is caused by the buildup of plaque and tartar on the dogs teeth. Dental disease can make eating painful for the dog and could potential cause other problems. Daily teeth brushing prevents these problems by removing the plaque.

Veterinary dog dental care is an annual or semi-annual cleaning which removes plaque and tartar that the owner may not be able to remove. The dogs teeth can also be inspected for problems during this time.

Many dogs resist allowing their teeth to be brushed. If teeth brushing is started while the dog is a puppy, there is likely to be less resistance.

Dog dental care products can help a dog get accustomed to teeth brushing. Brush-like products with soft, rubber projections instead of bristles are often accepted more readily than a bristled brush. Brushes like these that fit on the dog owners finger are called finger brushes.

If a dog resists the use of a finger brush, a warm washcloth can be used to wipe the dogs teeth. After the dog learns to relax when this is done, the dog owner may be able to start using a finger brush or childs soft toothbrush.

Toothpaste made for human consumption can make a dog sick. Special dog toothpaste is available at many pet stores.

Some dog foods and dog treats are marketed as being good for a dogs teeth. Many of these food products are not proven to be effective. They should not be used as an alternative to proper dog dental care.

Dental dog bones and some rope toys are designed to improve the dental health of dogs. Daily teeth brushing is still recommended if these products are used.

The teeth of older dogs often show considerable wear. This is common and may not require veterinary treatment. If the dog owner has concerns of any kind about the dogs dental health, the dog owner should consult a veterinarian.
