Home dental care is to be given more emphasis nowadays because of the fact that the dental diseases are emerging in the case of pet animals like chihuahuas to a greater extent. Though you are giving home dental care, if you suspect on the extension of the dental diseases, then immediately approach the veterinarian for intervention.   

   Try to provide bone materials without very sharp points to the chihuahuas and they may love to chew them and then swallow the bitten products. Such activities help them to go for the development of strong teeth structures in a natural manner.
   
   Mind that the breeds of chihuahuas like Pekingese, etc. are more prone for the development of teeth diseases because the teeth are closely crowned in the oral cavity be to the small size of the these chihuahuas. Hence, these chihuahuas need to be checked up for the excessive plaque formation in the home itself.
   
   Recreational raw beef bones are wonderful materials to keep the teeth structures of your chihuahua clean and free from formation of plaque with build up of bacterial organisms.  Teeth brushes are available for use with care in case of chihuahuas and one has to be careful during the usage of these brushes in chihuahuas. Teeth brushes are to be used with special kinds of pastes recommended by the veterinarians for home use in case of chihuahuas. 

   Specially prepared food materials are available in the pet shops to remove the tartar and the plaque materials from the teeth structures. Dry chihuahua food and toys that are specially made to add strength to the teeth structures are often used at home for better teeth cleaning.   

   The plaque materials are intermittently to be removed at home to avoid any occurrence of the periodontal diseases, which are more common among the chihuahuas.  Dental wipes are available in the pet shops and they may be used carefully in the home.  This helps to remove more plaque and the tartar like materials that are loosely attached.
