Puppy teeth care isn’t something most new puppy owners think about. After all, house training is a lot more compelling when you bring that new puppy home. But if you want your puppy to grow into a dog with health teeth, you need to think about puppy teeth.

In order for a dog to have healthy teeth throughout his life, he needs dog dental care. Establishing a routine of dog dental care when your dog is a puppy will make that dental care much easier for the whole of your dog’s life. When a dog gets older, it’s common for a dog to have dental problems. White teeth turn brown. Gums get tender. Breath turns foul. Some dogs get broken teeth. Some get bleeding gums or gums oozing pus. Some dogs get growths in their mouths. None of this is pretty, nor is it comfortable for the dog.

You can find dog dental care products at nearly any pet store. The easiest way to keep your dog’s teeth healthy is with dental chews. Puppies love to chew and they’ll wrap their little puppy teeth around pretty much anything—including your fingers. Although it’s good for your puppy to chew, you want your puppy to chew on something appropriate, like dog dental chews.

There’s been some debate about the safety of the well-known chews, Greenies. I’ve never given my dog Greenies, but some dog parents say they’re great. If you decide to give your puppy greenies, be aware that according to a CNN investigation, since 2003, 40 dogs have had to have pieces .
