Removing tartar from dogs

Zahnstein entfernen beim Hund

Unfortunately, the pleasant life of our dogs as pets also brings with it inconveniences such as tartar buildup. Because this poses significant health risks, it is highly recommended that tartar is removed regularly from dogs as well.

How does tartar, which is so dangerous to health, actually form?

The basic problem is harmful bacteria that settle in food residues. Together with saliva components and mucous membrane cells, this forms what is known as plaque, which forms the basis for tartar. Mineral salts from the saliva accumulate on this, causing the plaque to harden over time. Removing tartar from dogs must be a preventative measure, because the extremely hard deposits can only be removed later under general anesthesia.

Which dogs are at risk?

Small breeds with short snouts in particular represent a particularly high-risk group. Since these dogs pant more, their teeth are no longer cleaned sufficiently due to reduced saliva flow. In addition, these breeds often have jaw misalignments, which further impair the natural self-cleaning of the teeth. Tartar should therefore be removed regularly, especially in small dogs with short snouts.
