So my dog’s teeth are not in the best shape. Thankfully at this time the vet doesn’t want to remove any but I’m saving up for a cleaning. I’m looking for recommendations on a raw low fat treat that I can give her that will work away at some of this plaque. Ive heard great things about frozen turkey and duck necks. She’s 16 lbs and a rather gentle chewer but I would hate for her to a break a tooth!
Tooth decay is the most common chronic disease of childhood. Once tooth decay develops, it must be treated by a dental professional or it will worsen.

When not a problem - enjoying vinegar rich foods occasionally, with brief exposure time.
When possibly a problem - snacking on foods dipped in ketchup, salsa or similar sauces on a daily basis, and/or for extended time periods, or just before going to sleep.
My testimony - I had pretty severe problem requiring multiple dental repairs every year. I decided to quit vinegar foods (I was a big consumer) as a simple experiment. This was 10 years ago, and I have not had a single instance of tooth decay since.
Reading labels - here are some common vinegar synonyms used; Preservative, Acetic Acid, Acetate, E260, E261, E262, E263.
Rule 9 compliance: "In this in vitro study, the erosive potential of different vinegar varieties on human enamel samples could be demonstrated." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24839821/
Most days i wake up and think to myself "i can never have a girlfriend, a good job or a social life because of my teeth". I have horrible genes and a bad soda addiction since early childhood and no money to fully get the help i need which is a ungodly expensive full mouth extraction ( i have enough for one or two appointments, need a unreasonable amount for the next) . Does anyone else deal with these kind of thoughts or have possible advice on how to live with it/resolve it? Thanks much
I am recently 18 years old and for months now I have not been brushing my teeth, oviously this is my fault but I literally live with a dad who tells me not to brush my teeth unless I need to, tho still my fault. Because of not brushing my teeth I have began experiancing pain like an electroc shock in one of my teeth which used to have a filling but it came out and I cant get a new one in because covid is not allowing our dentist back on the island, ontop of that some weird sticky thing attached to one of my teeth has appeared I googled ehat it could be because I thought it was my gums fot some reason and googlr says its Tartar which apprantly only dentists can remove.. I am scared if it is, what do I do? Because I cant see a dentist without going on a plane overseas to one which puts my family at risk of covid 19.. I am stupid but I need guidance.
So to clarify, they look like this because:
- I have had historically poor dental hygiene due to depression throughout most of my 20s and teen years
- I was a heavy smoker throughout that time (I quit smoking cigarettes, but occasionally use e-cigs)
- I have always had bad bruxism and grind my teeth like crazy
- I haven't been to the dentist since 2007 since losing insurance at 18yo ( I'm 30 now). Wanted to avoid going into tens of thousands in debt from dental work
Surprisingly I have never had an abscess or severe tooth pain, however all of them have always been sensitive to coldness, cold air inhaling.
Luckily for me I obtained great dental insurance through work where its 100% covered (80% for crowns though). I have my first appointment in 14 years coming up next month, but I'm wondering if there's several other appointments I should also be making?
So what's your take on what's gonna happen based on the picture? I'm hoping they don't pull the entire set but what scares me is that dental implants or worst case dentures might not even be possible because of the gum line.
Also, skip the lecture. Believe me, I know.
my understanding is that bacteria are responsible for bad breath, gum disease, and tooth decay. what probiotic bacteria would be most beneficial in battling these harmful bacteria?
