cleaning teeth I am noticing my yorkies teeth are starting to develop tartar buildup.They are fad on good quality nuts and I give them chewy bones etc often.I have tried brushing them but they hate me doing this and it won't remove the hard brown plaque buildup.I know that the vet can remove it under anaestetic but I don't want to do this unless I have to .Is there anything I can do to remove it myself.The 3 of them are aged between 15mths -2yrs |
Cleaning teeth I am a dental hygienist and believe me nothing will remove the tartar with out the proper cleaning and the proper instruments. Left on there it will continue to get thicker and with their small roots may eventually have gum disease and possibly lose some of them. My yorkies have never liked getting their teeth brushed either, so once a year my vet does anesthesize and remove the buildup. It is a simple procedure and well worth it long term. Good luck! |
