How to keep your dog's teeth clean and avoid going to the dentis
According to every dog food advertisement, people want what is best for their pets-after all, they are part of the family. This includes ensuring that they get the medical care they need. But what about their teeth?
If you are not familiar with caring for dogs, you may be surprised when the veterinarian first takes you through the dental care of a new friend. Regular tooth cleaning ranges from US$450 to US$1,000, and additional procedures (such as tooth extractions) are more costly-and the dog is under anesthesia during the appointment-you will want to make sure that their chewers are kept clean and as healthy as possible .
The American Veterinary Association (AVMA) recommends that you professionally clean your dog's teeth at least once a year and maintain a healthy smile at home. This is how to do it.

Brush their teeth
Like us, plaque and tartar build up on dogs’ teeth. AVMA stated:
“Regular brushing of your pet’s teeth is the single most effective way
to keep your teeth healthy between two tooth cleanings, and it may
reduce or even eliminate the frequency of veterinarians cleaning their
teeth regularly.”
AVMA says that ideally, dogs should brush their teeth every day, but if
they don’t, brushing a few times a week is sufficient.
There are a variety of snacks, toys, chews and sticks that claim to help
clean your dog’s teeth, but AVMA says they are not all equally
effective. You can seek advice from your veterinarian, or check the
Veterinary Oral Health Commission (VOHC) website for their latest list
of approved dog dental products, which are tested and verified based on
their ability to prevent the buildup of plaque and tartar.

It can be proved that the estimated value of pet teeth cleaning is $1,000, although this was recently prepared for our cat-this is the first time any oral treatment has been recommended in 6 years. We are trying to brush our teeth once a day-if that is the case, we talk for about 30 seconds a day-may avoid this, but in general, daily brushing seems very unrealistic for us.
I would be happy to use our cat’s dental plaque in exchange for our dog’s lack of dental plaque, because they are easier to brush. I can definitely imagine the situation of cats, but I want to know if anesthesia is a standard and/or necessary condition for professional cleaning of all dogs...
