The same shortened skulls that give brachycephalic breeds their flat faces also mean their teeth are often crowded into smaller spaces—leading to misalignment, overlapping teeth, and increased risk of dental disease. Underbites and overbites are common, and the cramped tooth arrangement makes plaque and tartar buildup more likely, even with regular care. Our dental health guides cover breed-specific oral care routines, safe chew options that won’t damage teeth, signs of dental problems to watch for, and tips for at-home teeth cleaning that works for dogs with unusual bite structures.
