Is not this true that dogs that eat dry dog food do not have lime on their teeth?
There are many misconceptions about lime deposition in dogs. Food may play a role as dry food does not stick to the teeth as in the case of canned foods. It does not quickly precipitate lime, but this does not mean that eating dry food removes lime from teeth. , Once the lime on the teeth should be removed or cleaned by a professional.

What does the lime do in the teeth?
If lime is allowed to remain on the teeth, several things may occur:
Gums will push the gums mechanically away from the roots of the teeth, and the teeth get out of the process and infiltration of infection to the cavity of the teeth, may fall teeth or must be removed.
The infection accumulates in the mouth, causing inflammation of the gums, inflammation of the tonsils, pharyngitis (inflammation of the pharynx) and although antibiotics may lead to temporary elimination of infection, if the lime is still on the teeth, the infection will return quickly again.
Blood will carry infections from the mouth and teeth to other parts of the body, beginning with heart and kidney disease from the mouth.
