When a dog is in pain, the animal becomes nervous or, on the contrary, becomes apathetic, sometimes whining.

If there is old tartar, you may notice your animal drooling profusely.

You should contact your veterinarian if your pet's teeth turn yellow or his gums begin to bleed.

This can occur with tartar, periodontitis and gingivitis.
