    Under a very peculiar circumstance. Unless your dog has had a tragic accident it probably will not be necessary. I suggest treating your pet to a good steak and the dog will naturally chew on the bone sharping it's own teeth. Also you can purchase a rawhide toy and the vitamin fortified biscuits.

    Sorry hun, but I don't think he was talking about his dog. Humans have canine teeth as well.

    Your dentist can do it, but it is a matter of does he want to. Some dentists are not comfortable with this. If you do not find a dentist that will do it, please do not do it yourself. You can cause major damage to your teeth and gums. :)

    Yikes! I see that now. Being new to this site I better pay attention to the "new questions" categories a little closer. Thanks and have a great day.:)
