Question Oral Hygiene - Help!

Hello, everyone.

I've been searching through the forums for an oral hygiene product. Biscuit is 2 years and 5 months and still hasn't taken to tooth-brushing, so he has some tartar buildup on his back teeth from lack of brushing. The color is yellow but his gums look like the usual pink. I think he might have a loose tooth though; it doesn't seem to bother him at all but it does worry me like crazy. I already left the vet a message and am waiting for his call. (Should I be scared of a dental cleaning? I would hate putting Biscuit under anesthesia, but if it's absolutely necessary I suppose it'll have to be done.)

I've come across three products in the forums: Petzlife, ProDen PlaqueOff, and Leba III. The way I understand it, Petzlife comes in a gel/spray, ProDen is a powder that is mixed with food, and Leba III is a spray.

I'm having a bit of trouble deciding which product I should buy. Petzlife and Leba III each contain ethyl alcohol, and ProDen has trace amounts of arsenic (which shouldn't be a problem, according to the website description). Needless to say, I'm a bit frazzled.

I feel like such a bad mom, and I'm just hoping for any advice and recommendations (even some chastisement, that's ok too).

Having said that, Biscuit and I thank you in advance
