Tartar also likes to explore-after hanging out in your pooch's mouth, it'll explore your dog’s body.
Because the roots are no longer protected, it leaves them open to sensitivities, causing your dog pain and discomfort. This exposes the roots of the teeth, which are no longer covered by enamel. As tartar builds up along the gum line, it pushes the gums away from the teeth. Not only that, but it can lead to some seriously rank dog breath!īut teeth aren't the only thing you have to worry about. Dental problems, such as gingivitis, periodontal disease, abscesses or lost teeth, are causalities of tartar's reign of terror. Nasty bacteria start to grow, and it's only a matter of time before it wreaks havoc. Tartar on our teeth poses the same problems as it does in a dog's mouth. And tartar is like a welcoming sign to dental problems and gum disease-opening the door to pain, illness and a host of expensive medical bills. As plaque combines with the salts found in dog saliva, it builds up and hardens, which is when it turns into tartar.
In fact, it starts its journey on your dog's teeth as plaque, which begins to form hours after a dog eats. Who would think that tartar could be such a problem? But the thing with tartar is it doesn’t start out that way. It’s your job, as a pet owner, to take care of your dog’s dental health, which means taking care of tartar before it becomes a problem. It doesn’t take long to form and it gets right to work. Tartar buildup on your dog’s teeth can lead to serious health problems. Perhaps this isn't the topic of conversation you'd bring up at the dinner table, but it's one that pet parents shouldn't avoid. You've probably seen it-the nasty brown-stained teeth when your dog smiles, pants or yawns.
