Dogs get plaque and tartar on their teeth just like humans do.
Cleaning

your dogs teeth between professional cleanings is very
simple.
Keeping your dogs teeth and gums clean will eliminate "doggy
breath" as well as keep your dog healthy.
Most veterinarians suggest twice a week brushings. When brushing
teeth, use baking soda or a special toothpaste formulated for
dogs, not toothpaste for humans. Pet toothpastes contain enzymes
that help dissolve plaque and can be swallowed. They also taste
good.
Use a

toothbrush designed for pets or small children. Or just
use gauze or a washcloth if the pet doesn't like the brush.
Tooth brushing is best but if the dog won't let you brush it's
teeth then giving it something to chew that rubs on the sides of
the teeth is useful.
Although dogs do not usually get cavities in their teeth, tooth
problems result from soft foods that can leave debris in gum
pockets at the base of the teeth, known as

gingivitis.
Infections form which soften and cause the gums to recede. Bad
breath is a symptom.
Tartar buildup can be removed from teeth by rubbing with a
solution of three percent hydrogen peroxide. Advanced buildup
requires scraping with dental instruments. Some veterinarians
use ultrasonics now as well, so the treatment is more pleasant.
For between dental visits, provide soft chew toys made of rubber
or nylon and something made of fiber

like a chew rope which
helps to wipe the teeth clean.
