Chewing is a natural behavior for dogs so proper care of the teeth and gums start at a very early age. The teething period begins once the adult teeth start to come in, which causes pain and soreness in the teeth and gums. Chewing helps elevates the pain and soreness but hard chew treats can damage or break immature teeth. Any damage or breakage to immature teeth can expose the nerve so the proper chew treat is critical to the development of teeth and gums.
