A quick glance of your dogs
teeth at home may reveal the presence of obvious tartar accumulation, moveable or missing
teeth, pus
around the gum line or
swollen gum tissue.
As in humans, the presence of bacteria causes bad breath (bacteria stinks), and the accumulation of tartar causes irritation and inflammation to the gums
around the dog's
teeth (gingivitis, under the form of red,
swollen gums), which in turn may lead to periodontal disease (the loss of the connective tissue fibers, ligaments and bone surrounding the
teeth and responsible for supporting them) and eventually
tooth loss due to gradual loss of supporting structure — see photo, something known as gingival recession.

teeth that are discolored or covered in tartar, abnormal chewing, drooling, or dropping food from the mouth, reduced appetite or refusal to eat, pain in or
around the mouth, and bleeding or
