    Because otherwise bacteria have a field day in your filthy mouth. They eat away your teeth, your gums, and if things get bad enough, the infection can spread to your blood and you can get septic.

    Brush at least twice a day. Floss if you're smart.

    Over the years, I have had numerous dogs and I never cleaned their teeth. However I gave them a carrot to chew every day and a RAW meaty bone once a week. Their teeth were clean and healthy and they did not have gum problems.

    TO prevent many different problems..such as cavities and gum disease. Gum disease by the way, can lead to loss of teeth. You should brush in the morning and at night, and also floss. Flossing removes bacteria between teeth and under the gum line where the toothbrush is unable to.Brushing everyday is also essential in order to remove plaque and tartar buildup which can cause bacteria to enter the gums.
