Usually, canine dental problems are mainly manifested in tooth decay, tartar and long-term retention of food residues between teeth, which can lead to the growth of oral bacteria and cause bad breath. To prevent canine tooth disease and problems, it is best to brush your dog’s teeth once a week to prevent tartar from forming on the canine teeth. Change the food appropriately at ordinary times, and do not feed too much soft and wet food. Frequently let the dog chew bones, feed some dry and hard food, or go to the pet store to buy some "dog chew glue" for the dog to chew to exercise its teeth. When brushing your dog's teeth at home, it is best to use a dog-specific toothbrush because the bristles are relatively soft and will not irritate the dog's gums and hurt the dog's mouth. It is also best to use a dog-specific toothpaste. If tartar has accumulated on the canine teeth, it is best to send the dog to a pet hospital or pet grooming shop for treatment by a veterinarian or professional. Doing it yourself may damage your dog's gums and enamel due to lack of experience, leading to inflammatory lesions in your dog's mouth. The dog may not cooperate when brushing its teeth at first, but after a few brushings, if it is done correctly and does not cause pain to the dog, it will gradually get used to brushing its teeth.
