FAQ

A dog’s teeth should be brushed daily or at least 3–4 times a week to prevent plaque, tartar, and gum inflammation. Regular brushing is especially important if the dog has previously had dental issues or poor oral health.

Yes, a dog’s teeth should be brushed regularly – ideally every day. Without brushing, plaque and tartar build up quickly, increasing the risk of gingivitis, pain, and tooth loss.

Start with a soft dog toothbrush or a finger toothbrush and a safe, swallow-safe dog toothpaste – never use human toothpaste. Get your dog used to the process calmly by first touching around the mouth, then introducing the toothbrush. Gently brush the inner and outer surfaces of the teeth using small circular motions, especially on the molars. A small toothbrush for small dogs can help with thorough cleaning. Repeat daily or at least several times a week as part of your dog’s dental care routine.

The best option is a soft toothbrush designed for pets that fits your dog’s mouth size. A small toothbrush for small dogs is ideal for smaller breeds, as the small brush head makes access easier. A finger toothbrush can also be practical, especially in the beginning or for sensitive dogs. The most important thing is that the bristles are gentle and do not harm the gums.

Fresh breath starts with regular tooth brushing. It can also be improved with chew products that reduce tartar, as well as mouthwashes or sprays available from veterinarians and pet stores. If your dog has bad breath despite brushing, the cause may be tartar, gingivitis, or another oral health issue – in that case, a vet visit is recommended.

How to Care for Your Dog’s Teeth

A dog’s teeth need regular care – just like humans'. Plaque, tartar, and gum inflammation can develop quickly and cause pain, bad breath, and even affect the dog’s overall health if left untreated.

How to Tell if Your Dog Has Dental Problems

Poor dental health in dogs can present with various symptoms that are easy to overlook: bad breath, excessive drooling, reduced appetite, or reluctance to chew hard food are common signs. Untreated teeth can lead to painful procedures and negatively impact your dog’s general well-being.

Dental Care for Dogs Starts at Home

The best way to prevent oral diseases is regular at-home dental care. The most important measure is brushing, which removes plaque and prevents tartar buildup. Always use products specifically designed for pets, such as an appropriate dog toothbrush. For small breeds, we recommend our gentle and precise options, such as toothbrushes for small dogs, which make it easier to clean even in tight areas.

Human toothpaste should never be used on dogs, as it may contain harmful substances. That’s why a specially formulated dog toothpaste is an essential part of safe oral care. The best dog toothpastes contain enzymes, are well tolerated, and taste good – making brushing easier and more effective. Flavors like chicken or liver turn brushing into a positive experience for both you and your dog.

Brushing can be complemented with supplements that affect saliva composition and help prevent plaque buildup and bad breath.

Prevention Is the Key to a Healthy Mouth

When your dog’s teeth are brushed regularly and the right products are used, oral diseases can be effectively prevented. Brushing once a day – or at least several times a week – can significantly reduce the risk of tartar and other oral issues. In addition to brushing, it’s important to monitor your dog’s oral health and contact a veterinarian if you notice unusual symptoms.
