Bad breath and yellowish teeth in dogs are classic signs of dental disease, which is incredibly common. Plaque and tartar buildup can lead to gingivitis, painful infections, and eventually tooth loss. Untreated dental disease can also impact your dog's overall health, as bacteria from the mouth can enter the bloodstream. The best course of action is a professional dental cleaning and examination under anesthesia by your veterinarian. They can scale and polish the teeth, and extract any diseased teeth. For prevention, regular home care including daily brushing, dental chews, and dental diets can help significantly.
