Oh yes. This is a valid concern that few pay attention to. But the idea of brushing your pet's teeth is not very practical. They wouldn't know you are not out to harm them and might even get stressed and depressed. Giving them a diet rich in calcium like milk and supplements in food works great. You can also toss some garlic cloves into food to fight bacteria. You can also smear a soft rubber bung with the pet's favourite food to chew on or even tough pieces of meat or bones for dental exercise.
