.... About his chipped tooth, though, shd I just be sure there is no swelling of the gums. ? He has been on the raw diet for 2 years and his teeth are very brown. I thought that the bones help keep teeth clean. Anyway what do you recommend for cleaning?
A good dental wipe.? Thanks again

How chipped is the tooth? A superficial chip in the enamel might not be a big deal. If it's anything deeper (a break that exposes anything inside the tooth that looks pulpy or bleeds) that would merit a trip to the vet. Dogs are pretty adept at masking pain, but a broken tooth can be very painful and open a pathway for serious infection.

As for raw feeding and tooth appearance--raw fed dogs do usually have less tartar on their teeth, but not always. One of my raw-fed crew has cruddy teeth. Just the luck of the draw.

I use a product called Petzlife

It seems to work pretty well, and my dogs don't mind it. Using a toothbrush adds some physical removal of tartar as well, if your dog will permit it. Or for a really tolerant dog, you can hand scale tartar or calculus off the teeth using a dentist's tool (or any small metal tool, really; I find a tiny flat-bladed screwdriver makes a good dental chisel).

If it's just "stain" it's less a health issue than the build-up of crusty junk along the gumline. That's the stuff that really should be removed, because it can lead to inflammation of the gums and tooth loss.

Hope that helps.
