With teeth which are proportionally too large for the jaw, the small dog is often very sensitive to bucco-dental problems. This encourages the deposit of dental plaque which in turn leads to the formation of tartar. Small dogs have a much longer life expectancy than larger ones, and this oral sensitivity does not become any less significant. In the long term, tartar can lead to gum inflammation and even the loss of teeth, which discourages the dog from eating.
