You can start by brushing your dog’s teeth daily, using a suitable brush or rubber thimble. You can find these at your local pet shop or vet. You'll also need to use a dog-friendly toothpaste. Giving your dog dental chews and a suitable diet also has some effect in reducing plaque. The dental chews should be the correct size for your dog. Specially formulated diets for dental care are also available. Your vet will be able to advise you on the most suitable food for your dog. You can do this through daily brushing, a suitable diet and dental chews.

Forget about using human toothpaste as the ingredients can be toxic to dogs – opt for a pet-safe one instead. There are plenty of dog-friendly toothbrushes available, too. Our nurses recommend gently massaging their gums with your finger to get them accustomed to the sensation. Then, gradually introduce the toothbrush and paste. Towcester Vets’ nursing team share that daily would be the gold star level, but try aiming for at least 2-3 times a week to brush your dog’s teeth. In addition to regular brushing, you can help keep your dog’s teeth healthy by providing dental chews or toys designed to help reduce plaque. Look for products that are vet-approved and safe for your dog’s size and breed and be sure to ask us about other oral care products like water additives and wipes.

Regular brushing of teeth is the best thing that you can do to prevent dental disease, however, it does hinge on having the time and a co-operative “brushee” in order to be successful. If brushing isn’t for you, or more likely your dog or cat has made that decision, then you can influence dental hygiene with the diet that you feed. Dental chews and similar can help, but in order for diet to have a meaningful effect, dental friendly food must be fed a significant amount of the time. There are several diets on the market which are specially designed to prevent tartar build up and keep teeth clean. At Hawthorn, we recommend Hills Veterinary Essentials which is a maintenance diet made up of teeth cleaning kibble. Essentially, this means brushing your pet’s teeth as often as possible. There is no denying that regular brushing of teeth is the best thing that you can do to prevent dental disease. Meaty flavoured toothpaste and special dog and cat toothbrushes do make the job of cleaning your pet’s teeth much easier. We have a selection of products at the surgeries.

Ask your vet first - before you start cleaning your dog's teeth, it's always best to ask your vet to show you the best way to do this. If you're unsure what works best for your dog, a vet or reputable pet shop will be able to give you more specific advice on the best diet. Ask your vet for advice first before feeding your dog bones, and supervise them if and when they do eat them. Brush your dog's teeth regularly. Dental chews and treats are also a good way of helping to keep your dog's teeth clean. You should keep brushing your dog's teeth as part of a regular grooming routine. Buy a dog toothpaste - human ones aren't suitable. You can use a special dog toothbrush that goes over your finger to brush their teeth, but if you don't have one then a child-sized toothbrush is fine. Start teeth cleaning when they're a puppy and brush their teeth everyday to get them used to it.

The key to management of gum disease is prevention. As long as the surfaces of the teeth are cleaned frequently, the gums will stay healthy. Excellent oral health is maintained by daily oral hygiene. The gold standard is brushing. Daily chewing activities can also be effective in maintaining oral health. Daily use of products that have been awarded the VOHC Seal will help to keep your pet’s teeth clean and the gum tissues and bone around the roots healthy. Many pets, particularly middle-aged and older cats and dogs, require periodic professional scaling in addition to on-going plaque control.
