The outer layer of the tooth was sheared off, just like a shelf of ice cracking off an iceberg. This type of fracture is common from dogs chewing on an object harder than tooth enamel. Common culprits for this type of tooth damage include antler chews, Nylabones, real bones, or ice.

Ring-shaped bones can get caught behind a dogs lower canine teeth, entrapping the end of the lower jaw, and requiring removal under anesthesia. Dogs can chew bones into small pieces that they ingest, potentially causing a life-threatening intestinal blockage.

No chew bones. No teeth brushing. Heres a closer look at what you can expect after surgery& Keep in mind, this can vary depending on how many teeth your dog has pulled: Immediately following surgery& we can give your dog a laser treatment to help with healing and reduce pain. This is 100% optional. The night after surgery&

Dental chews and treats are also a good way of helping to keep your dog's teeth clean. Feeding bones to your dog. Feeding bones is controversial. Although raw, meaty bones may be a tasty treat for your dog and do help clean teeth, they can be hazardous. Bones can cause dental fractures with some dogs who might eat 'energetically', and can cause constipation.

Recreational Bones: These raw bones don't typically provide much nutrition and aren't meant to be swallowed, the dog just gnaws on them for mental stimulation and the purpose of cleaning teeth. When some cartilage and soft tissue meat is still attached, the action on the teeth is similar to getting brushed and flossed.

If your dogs teeth seem to build up tartar like nobodys business, a homeopathic remedy called Fragaria may solve the problem. Gnawing on raw bones stimulates the gums, exercises the jawbone, and removes tartar from the teeth.

When you feed raw meaty bones, your pet has to tear, rip, and crunch through raw bone, meat, and tendons. These actions help keep your pets mouth healthy and clean. The resistance your pet...

Raw chicken bones are safe to eat, but too soft to clean teeth. It is ok for a dog to eat bone fragments. The stomach acid dissolves them and aids in complete dissolution and digestion. Fractured teeth should be restored if possible.
