Hello, thank you for your question. Yes, those chews are helpful to prevent build up of dental tartar. The goal of these kinds of chews is to help scrape away any tartar or debris from the teeth. I would recommend using these occasionally and not using these as free choice treats (for example, no more than one a day). Hope this helps!
