HOW PLAQUE, TARTAR, AND HALITOSIS DEVELOP

Bacteria attach and accumulate on tooth enamel

Plaque builds up, hardens into tartar

More bacteria attach, and halitosis develops

Plaque and tartar are common problems in dogs—just like in humans. Without cleaning, plaque and tartar can build up, attracting more bacteria that can lead to serious bad breath (halitosis). This is why daily dental care and regular vet visits are always important.
