My vet offers anesthesia-free dental cleanings done by a specialist. I haven't done this and am not sure how effective it would be....However, my dogs are on a raw diet (prey model style) and the crunching on the raw bones has thus far kept their teeth sparkly white and tarter free.
I do keep Petzlife on hand and use it/brush 1-2 times a month just as a supplement to ensure dental health. Between the liver problems with Yorkies and the heart problems with Cavaliers, dental health is a top priority in my house!
