Ashley, be very careful if you decide to try to go under the gums - red gums are generally sensitive, that's why it's difficult to get the tarter under the gums out. You don't want to get nipped. Additionally after scraping the teeth with anything harder than a fingernail, you need to polish the tooth, otherwise it will collect bacteria and the tarter will move in even more quickly than before. I don't think I suggested going in under the gums and it was my vet that suggested the human tooth scrapper plus, they have "never" said the teeth needed to be polished after scrapping. In fact, my vet is always quite impressed with our guys teeth, they're not perfect but they're pretty darn good! M

Keep us updated on how that works out for you! Booker's got a stubborn yellow bit himself that I'd like to see gone.

For what it's worth, his teeth do look amazing and I also can see the darkish line at the gums that Karen is talking about. I see this with my guys as well. I use a human dental scrapper and have sucess removing it. Just a thought. Sometimes, even using your finger nail can pull it off! eww yucky I know! M Our vet has also suggested the scraper. Works greyt! Wonderful photos:) Liz
