Content: If your dog has all of his permanent teeth, you'll know that he is not a young puppy. At about 1 year of age, you will begin to notice bumps and ridges developing on the top of the front teeth. Between 3-4 years of age these bumps and ridges will be about 1/2 worn down. During this stage of life you will also notice tartar beginning to build up. Note: Keep in mind that dogs who chew aggressively have been abused or have dental health issues may have worn these bumps and ridges down earlier than the average dog. 2. Teeth Health
Tartar buildup on a dog's teeth will get thicker and darker as the dog ages. You will notice the brownish tartar build up on the canine teeth in the photo above. By the time your dog is 7 years old, the bumps and ridges on the top of his front teeth will be completely worn down.
