Some of them are bad breath, not wanting to chew hard foods, or the appearance of spots. If your pet has accumulated tartar (also called plaque or calculus), don&#8217;t wait to remove it or it will cause more serious illnesses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You must go to the vet for a check-up, but you can also help your dog at home if his case is not serious. Discover how to remove plaque from dog&#8217;s teeth naturally, some home remedies, and how to prevent it. Let&#8217;s start!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Consequences_of_tartar_in_dogs\"><\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Consequences of tartar in dogs<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Tartar consists of solidified residue stones and bacteria, just as it happens in the case of humans. It tends to accumulate in the spaces between the teeth and the gums, as well as in those between the teeth themselves, and, little by little, it spreads until it covers them completely. It can cause damage and disease throughout the oral cavity and adjacent structures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">When these solid plaques have already formed, it is more complicated to eliminate them at home naturally, so it is always recommended to prevent the problem and, if they appear anyway, go to the veterinarian for treatment. The best thing for\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">tartar in dogs<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0is to remove it with proper oral hygiene.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The canine breeds prone to tartar more easily and more frequently are:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Toy and small breeds<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. The poor quality of its enamel and the small size of teeth, as well as the proximity between them, make it more difficult to clean the mouth and plaque builds up faster.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Brachycephalic breeds<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. These dogs have a flat snout and their teeth are close together due to the shape of their jaw, complicating their oral hygiene.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Adult and elderly dogs<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. From the age of five, but especially the elderly, they tend to accumulate more bacterial plaque and produce tartar on the teeth more quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Finally, the consequences of tartar in dogs are diverse, so it is convenient to know them to take into account the importance of its prevention:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Bad breath or halitosis<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Gingivitis<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Periodontal disease, an infection that affects the entire mouth<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Wounds or sores in the mouth<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Loss of teeth<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Dental abscesses that can damage the eyes and nose<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Intestinal diseases<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Renal insufficiency<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Liver disorders<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Heart problems<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_remove_plaque_from_dogs_teeth_naturally\"><\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How to remove plaque from dog&#8217;s teeth naturally?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Cleaning tartar in dogs is as simple as brushing their mouths correctly, and there are products for dog&#8217;s plaque that will help you with this task.
