I actually learned by working at a vet clinic in my high school years how to scale dogs teeth. My Lola who's almost 9 lets me and my other yorkie Jax let me too. I carefully with my utensils lightly take off the plaque. Both had bright white plaque free teeth. Every Sunday was my day I'd do it along with a nail trim.
So I'll keep the teaspoon wet food going and see what he does. |
I went to school to become a vet assistant and scaling like that is not good. First you can't get under the gum line where most problems are and when you scale the teeth you put tiny grooves in the teeth and if you don't polish the tooth afterwords then you are leaving area for bacteria to grow and doing damage to the teeth. Please don't scale them at home allow a vet to do a thorough cleaning under anesthesia the right way other wise you could really be doing damage and only making them look pretty and not actually getting what needs to be done.
