An animal dental care device and method are disclosed. The device is a ring with inner and outer surfaces on each of which are disposed pluralities of teeth oriented to create channels. When used to care for an animal's dentition, the device is introduced to the animal, causing the animal to bite the device and engage its dentition onto the device's pluralities of teeth. The device is pulled and rotated, causing the animal to release and re-bite the device, playfully reengaging its dentition onto the teeth of the device, the device's teeth efficiently removing plaque and tartar buildup from the animal's dentition.
