Dogs are frequently subject to various dental disorders, such as accumulations of tartar, caries of the teeth, and, rarely, fistulae of the gums. We understand by tartar of the teeth a calcareous deposit on the neck of the tooth at the border of the gums. This tartarous substance is deposited chiefly around the canine or molar teeth, and, constantly accumulating, gradually pushes the gums back and often loosens the tooth, which, acting as a foreign body, causes great irritation. The tartar can be removed by scraping it off with a small cup-shaped instrument or a sound with a leaf-shaped tongue. Some remove it with a hook-shaped pair of pincers. If there is a large amount of tartar, it is best to put the dog under ether, as it can be easier removed and avoid struggling on the part of the animal (see chapter on Removal of Tumors). Caries of the Teeth. This condi- tion has been observed by a number of authors (MoUer, Hoffmann), but is of very rare occurrence. By caries dentum we define an active process of molecular destruction of the enamel and bone of the teetli. This process always begins on the upper surface and mainly in the cavity of the crown of the tooth, forming a grayish or blackish spot. This spot, which is the decaying part of the tooth, advances deeper into the tooth, going on toward the pulp. This penetrates into the tooth until it reaches.
