I had been noticing plaque on our dog, Kona's teeth. I've been brushing his teeth, giving him deer antler to chew on, feed him raw, etc, but his teeth were still yellow. I didn't take him to the vet for a cleaning though cause I don't like him being put out.

Last week, I saw a post here about yorkies losing their teeth and I began to get worried. I checked online and saw that plaque is one of the main reasons dogs lose their teeth (it eats away at the teeth).

I've been doing 2 things and Kona's teeth are really starting to look up:
1. Got this plaque removing scaler from amazon (only $9): Double End Dog Dental Tooth Scaler w/Sleeve for Storage
2. Got this plaque spray: PetzLife Oral Care Spray, Peppermint, 2.2 ounces

So I started to pick at his teeth just with the scaler. His canines came clean pretty quickly (see pics). But his back teeth were really difficult. So I started to spray his teeth with the spray at night. This helped loosen the plaque enough to where I could chip it off with the scaler.

I still have a way to go but I'm just doing a little bit every day. Hope this helps!
