“…Disorders of dental hard tissues in dogs are mainly caused by trauma but can also be caused by genetics, infection and acidic degradation. Acquired loss of dental hard tissue in dogs includes crown wear in dogs with inherited enamel hypocalcification, dental caries and abrasion/attrition (Niemiec, 2014 ). Dogs with enamel defects, regardless of the cause, are more likely to develop tooth fractures, periodontal disease, dentin sensitivity, pulpitis and pulp necrosis (Shope et al., 2019 ).…”

A 10‐year‐old neutered male Chihuahua presented with unilateral dental erosion that occurred after several months of oral medications mixed with honey. A pH test was performed on all oral medications administered to the dogs to determine the cause of enamel erosion. Among the medications, the only acidic medication was clopidogrel (pH 2.65). To evaluate the effect of clopidogrel on the tooth surface under the same conditions as in the present patient, an additional preliminary study was designed in which two extracted teeth of another dog were immersed in a clopidogrel–honey mixture or only in honey. After a 3‐week soaking of the extracted tooth in the clopidogrel–honey mixture, field‐emission scanning electron microscope analysis revealed a rougher surface, whereas energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy analysis showed a reduced Ca/C ratio compared to the control tooth. In this case, prolonged exposure of the tooth surface to clopidogrel may be a cause of dental erosion.
