It's funny you say this, because in humans some people have a natural barrier that is removed when their teeth are first cleaned. I can't remember the details, but some people never have a cavity their whole lives, until after first teeth cleaning as an adult. Now I don't know if the same would be true with tartar, but I would probably do what the vet recommended. Tooth brushing is very important though. I use Petzlife gel on Joey, it is supposed to be good from softening tartar, allowing you to brush it away, at another time. |
