Not all vets push procedures and treatments for $. Our first vet did, but we found a really good doctor who does what he thinks is best for the dog.
I think what they use after cleaning is a sealant. I don't really know, but I doubt it would be something safe to use except after they've been cleaned or we would be sealing bacteria underneath?
