Dog myth, busted
“Dental chews have the teeth covered.”
Plaque turns to tartar in ~3 days, and no chew removes tartar.
By age three, most dogs have dental disease, and dental surgery under anaesthesia costs more than a lifetime of toothbrushes. Chews help; bristles at the gumline do the real work.
Three brushings a week is the honest minimum, the two-week no-drama ramp-up is in the brushing guide.
One minute of science
Plaque is soft and brushable for about three days; after that it mineralises into tartar that only a vet can remove under anaesthetic. That is why daily brushing matters more than the perfect technique. Dog toothpaste only, small circles at the gum line, and count it as a stamp-worthy ritual. The two-minute routine.
