Dog Tooth Tartar Build up. Dog Losing Teeth.
Some breeds are more prone than others to cavities. Dental cavities could be related to diet; light diets, based on home food or on canned food, tend to foster the accumulation of tartar.Tartar has a bacteria that causes dental cavities and infection to the gums. It's a good idea to provide them solid food, like dog's crackers regularly, to reduce tartar accumulation. Teeth can also be cleaned with special toothpaste for dogs. An old dog without most of his teeth will still be able to eat if given soft food. In any case, dogs do not use their teeth to chew, but to catch their prey, to tear it apart in pieces that he can swallow completely.
