19.01.2022 Plaque is a sticky substance containing bacteria which develops on teeth even 20 minutes after you brush!! When it is not removed by brushing, biscuits, bones or other products then overtime it calcifies and hardens turning it to tartar. Tartar is a problem in the mouth as the gums react, become inflamed and shrink away from the bacteria infested tartar which means more tooth root becomes exposed which becomes problem. It’s important that if you are concerned about your pets teeth, to have regular dental exams with our friendly veterinarians
