      Give goats the right food. Besides the health purposes, feeding goats the proper food will help to keep their teeth healthy and can help clean their teeth. Feed your goat oats, barley or goat pellets.

      Give your goat a salt block. Giving a salt block to your goat is good for its diet but also good for its teeth. Instead of licking the block, your goat will take chunks off with its teeth. This act will help to clean the teeth.

      Keep them hydrated. Give your goat plenty of water throughout the day. Not only does this keep your goat healthy, but the water will help to clean food from the goat’s teeth as it drinks.

      Give your goat some hay. The dull consistency of the hay will help to clean excess hard food off of the teeth. Chewing on the hay will help to strengthen the teeth, as well as keep the teeth clean over time.
