raw is thought to clean teeth by those who feed it. I'm not sure the same could be said about homecooked. I don't know of any studies related to this and there may never be any. So you would just have anecdotal internet opinions to go on. I have found tat while any peope think the bones help keep teeth cean, there is no mention of tips of teeth breaking off or tooth fractures (dogs like to get these from hard bones in their upper forth premolars). So it is a matter of what you are confortable with. I tend to not choose diets for dental purposes because there are many other factors to consider first. Teeth can be brushed and professionally cleaned as needed.
