I took my little Holly who was a 5 lbs Maltese in every year for dental cleaning and she would still lose teeth but she lived to be 16. I just read about a product that coats the teeth that helps prevent tartar called ORAVET here is what it says on their web site
While other products may remove plaque and tartar, OraVet is the first plaque prevention system. It significantly reduces plaque and tartar formation by creating an invisible barrier that helps prevent bacteria from attaching to your pet's teeth.
This breakthrough approach to oral healthcare begins in the clinic when your veterinarian applies the OraVet Barrier Sealant after your pet's dental cleaning. It continues at home when you apply the OraVet Plaque Prevention Gel weekly to your pet's teeth and gum line.
This system helps reduce plaque and calculus formation on your pet's teeth between dental cleanings |
