[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 658618, member: 1963"] Small dogs are more prone to have bad teeth because a: many breeds have short muzzles and hence bad bites, and b: many owners do not feed small dogs healthy diets. Large breeds with short muzzles are also more prone to dental problems. "My" breed, German Shepherd Dogs, rarely require any dental intervention other than the repair of broken teeth acquired during work. The reason is partially genetic and partially due to the breed having a "natural" head and muzzle shape. (Of course, they have enough other genetic issues to more than make up for having good teeth.) Note that all of the things I say here about dogs also apply equally to cats, a species more prone to suffer dental neglect at the hands of their owners than dogs as a whole do. [/QUOTE]
