Tartar and Plaque

Tartar on human teeth poses the same risk as it does to your dog’s teeth. Harmful bacteria begins to grow, causing dental problems like gingivitis, periodontal disease, abscesses or lost teeth, and bad dog breath.

As tartar builds along the gum line, it pushes gums away from teeth, exposing the roots, no longer covered by enamel, causing pain and discomfort. Harmful bacteria, does not only stay in the mouth but can go into the bloodstream, making it’s way to the organs, which can cause serious health problems.
