    yearly scale= quoted at $1200CND. seems to be the going rate here. No wonder pets suffer! And vets rarely give any advice on prevention they are sure quick to jump in with a scaling quote! The advice in the video is great IF you start at puppy. Many of use dog owners rescue dogs that are older and the issues have started.

    Prevention of Dental Disease (plaque build-up –> tartar –> loose teeth, etc)
    0:51 – Tooth brushing – the best way to reduce dental disease
    Find the right size toothbrush for you and a toothpaste your pet loves

    1:10 – Dental Care Diet (prescription & non-prescription available)
    (non-prescription examples: Hills Science Diet Oral Care, Royal Canin’ Oral, Advance Dental)
    Talk to your vet for which one could suit your dog best

    1:26 Dental Chews and Bones

    Long-lasting dental chews are best because the longer your pet chews on it.
    Only effective if they are chewing on both sides of the mouth and scraping the surface of each tooth

    1:55 Antibacterial Mouth Rinses (directly applied / soaked in toothbrush, soaked in a cotton/towel and wipe down teeth) and water additives (won’t fix any present dental disease, but will help slow growth of bacteria and freshen breath.

    2:21 Dental toys
    Mechanically removing plaque through chewing.

    2:37 Scale and polish annually at vet

    Thanks Dr. Kim!

    My pom just got his 5 teeth removed. And he s born with 8 teeth missing. I am heartbroken. His other teeth don’t look good either. He cannot eat bully sticks or hard things any more. I am switching to raw diet , hopefully it will save his teeth and brush his teeth every day.😢 😢😢😢😢😢

    if gingervitis is already a problem. Can it still be fixed? I thought about taking my dog to the dentist but it costs 1500 dollars and I cant afford it right now. I don’t him to suffer and lose his teeth.

    But fuck cats apparently
    none of these help outside of the vet it don’t help in between

  23. @thirdeyereptiles1772 on July 24, 2025 at 4:25 pm

    The moment I saw Hills Science food & Greenies I no longer trusted what she was saying. Vets have partnerships with these brands & they actually are some of the craziest but yet expensive options for your pup. Horns & bully sticks & brushing teeth with baking soda 1 part & coconut oil 1 part will do the trick! Baking soda can be controversial for enamel, but store dog toothpastes have over 10+ unnecessary ingredients that aren’t considered healthy or natural for your dog.

  24. @katrinaweaver598 on July 24, 2025 at 4:25 pm

    My dog like to eat the toothpaste while I’m trying to brush his teeth.

  25. @kaycee557 on July 24, 2025 at 4:25 pm

    Kibble doesn’t clean teeth. In fact, the carbohydrates in kibble causes all sorts of dental issues.

    Can you recommend toothpaste and chews for diabetic dogs ? Thanks

    I got abused dog from shelter abroad who would bite his teeth together and run away every time I tried to wash his teeth. I tried all the tips my veterinarian and dog trainers gave me and I only got to clean outer edge of his teeth at most and had to get his teeth cleaned more often at the vet clinic. One of his back teeth had to be pulled off when I got him because the gum line had moved over 1cm due to dental stone.

    One day I stopped giving him treats. Then I gave him big, raw meaty bone and when he bit it I brushed his teeth and then he got the bone as a reward. I started with shorter brushing time and used salt water at first because he disliked every dog’s toothpaste.
    Now I wash his teeth with soft electric brush (I use harder electric brush for his big teeth but don’t wash gum line with it) and dog’s toothpaste daily. I was told by vet that soft kids toothbrush is fine for sensitive or little unhealthy gums. Infected gums might need antibiotics and vet can give medical paste that makes cover to the gum for 24-48h keeping germs away.
    I also make chunks of dry beef in oven (with high heat, oven door little open and 2-3h depending on size) and dry meat outside in winter which will clean my dog’s teeth since he has to chew it well. Raw bones and junks of meat, cartilage, skin etc. are also great for cleaning dog’s teeth, super healthy and dogs loves them. Meat markets sell them all for cheap.

    My dog has stunning white teeth now. His gums bled easily at first from chewing bones and brushing teeth but after few weeks his gums became healthy and ever since he haven’t had any gum problems. I take him to yearly check ups at the vet and he haven’t needed any teeth cleaning after I started to brush his teeth daily and changed his diet.

  32. @ronnetteharvey6781 on July 24, 2025 at 4:44 pm

    If you have an older dog who needs brushing but you’ve never done it, then try giving carrots and start slow on using chicken or duck jerky as a reward to brush their teeth. If they will let you get the brush in their mouth. (even if only a couple swipes) then give only a about an inch of a treat. Dont use dry or water only on the brush as It can damage the gums. You can use a pea sized bit of childrens toothpaste. Mash it into the brush so as not to wash it down the drain. Dont skip days. And dont do anything unpleasant like screaming. GET BACK HERE!… No matter how tempting. Lol. You’ll see a change, and it may take time. But absolutely as time goes by, you will increase their lives.
    Even people who have such damage in their mouths are causing the bacteria to be swallowed every few seconds and is dangerous to their bodies on SO many levels.
    Same for animals. So, no treats with white sugar and limit those with white or brown flour. I noticed even on my teeth that if i eat half a small sandwich in the night, i wake up with that gooey build-up on my teeth. Oh yeah, use a soft childs toothbrush. And there is no need to brush hard. If you dont think you brushed them good enough, then remember there will be a next time.

    What are some top recommendations of chew gum and teeth cleaning products?

    Such as chews, powders, and water additives?

    😊

  34. @valhalavala on July 24, 2025 at 4:46 pm

    wait, so she is basically saying you should risk your pet’s life each year so the teeth can be cleaned by the vet, and advising the worst food ever, that’s literally making the pet’s teeth worse?!?!?!?!

  35. @suejesu on July 24, 2025 at 4:47 pm

    May Jesus Christ be Your Lord Blessings to You from Canada thanks for the information ❤️

  36. @TrickDogWin on July 24, 2025 at 4:47 pm

    All kibble is crap. Many chews also contain chemicals and toxins the same as kibble. Do your research before being fooled by these “dental chews” and “dental diet”

  41. @mayasstar on July 24, 2025 at 4:58 pm

    Yearly polish? My vet charges a minumum of $800 for cleanings. We have one dog and two cats. No way all of them are getting it done each year!

  42. @dogfitness247 on July 24, 2025 at 4:58 pm

    Kibble cleans teeth loool and the chew toys 🤦🏽‍♂

  43. @alanaballoon5661 on July 24, 2025 at 5:01 pm

    dogs’ wild counter parts, wolves (who they share 99% of their dna), will never see dental disease in their lifetime. fractures and broken teeth, maybe. this is because they have a species appropriate diet. they gnaw, chew, and rip meat and bones. RAW meaty bones like chicken wings, necks, and small prey are great things for your dog to eat and chew on. cooked bones have a different chemical structure and should never be given to your dog ever. they don’t digest them. raw bones however, are highly digestible. never give cow femurs or other weight bearing bones like ribs unless they are from small prey like rabbits or quail. these will definitely cause tooth fractures.

    dental chews that are full of starchy ingredients like rice and potatoes, along with kibble, are not effective. dogs lack the enzyme amylase, which digests carbs/starch, in their saliva. this creates the perfect environment for plaque and bacteria grow. this is why dogs have dental disease.

  44. @derekvasquez6485 on July 24, 2025 at 5:02 pm

    My dog has some tartar on one side of his mouth, about to buy one of his favorite chews so he can grind away at those back teeth

  45. @outoftime7740 on July 24, 2025 at 5:02 pm

    Greenies are full of chemicals. Rawhide is dangerous. Go to the butcher and get a nice strong bone

    After a life time of diagnosed with Bad

    breath, I got cured with the help of Dr Eddymon

    remedy whom I met on YouTube. It was

    wonderful taking his herbs as there was

    improvement during the process which I felt

    and after taking his herbal dosage I was

    completely cured and till now I’m free..

    glad to share this and you can get his herbs on 

    too.https://youtube.com/channel/UCEhIBgayWSeOLjfJxsi_-Og

  47. @BaaadJuju on July 24, 2025 at 5:03 pm

    1. Don’t feed a highly processed diet, or use any treats marketed as “dental treats” that look like kibble or a “biscuit” of any type. Your dog’s saliva breaks down the biscuit into glucose, which is the food for the plaque and tartar. It’s the exact same thing for human dental hygiene.
    2. Use fully edible single ingredient hard chews. Bones are best. Change up the shapes and sizes so your pet is forced to use many different chewing techniques, resulting in them using all of their teeth, instead of learning the “best/fastest way to chew through this bone” if you give them the same style of chew every time.
    3. After you’ve found a few bones/chews your pet likes, starting adding toothpaste to the chew. Start small if your pet is particularly picky.
    4. Change the diet (same as #1) if you’re feeding a highly processed, carbohydrate based diet, such as kibble, you are contributing to your pets dental decay. Every other food type is lower in carbohydrates, and therefor better for their teeth. Remember: dentists for humans always recommend less/unprocessed foods for better dental health.

    I got my dog when he was 11 weeks old and since Day 1 at home I’ve fed him a BARF diet and have been brushing his teeth at least twice a week. Luckily he likes the taste of the toothpaste so before and after each toothbrushing session I let him lick some of the toothpaste off the brush to make him feel good about the whole thing.
