I think with my time again, I will definitely work even harder on brushing. But my mother-in-law swears by those dental hide chews. I'm also researching the food that I give this time, Tink could only tolerate one kind of wet food in her latter years. So I want to find the best I can for teeth and health next time. I'm in the UK, too. So anything you find over here would be great to hear about.
She got her teeth descaled at the vets earlier this week. I give her dry food, but I did add water to it for a while so thats the only thing I can think of that caused the build up.

The vet gave me aquadent to add to her water, and I also found recommendations for logic gel, which works when just rubbed over her teeth. Not as good as brushing, but the best I can do at the minute.
