OraVet is used extensively here. It is very inert and safe, just waxy and annoying. I had read about two owners on YT having problems with it (one the dog would not tolerate and the other thought it was somewhat ineffective).
Ellie had stage 3-4 periodontal disease (before I knew any better). Had oral surgery and then got her teeth brushed daily and OraVet weekly. We avoided dentals for over five years (not because I refused, but her teeth just weren't bad enough to put her under). She had a dental in June (I slacked and stopped homecare) and lost no teeth. Her gums are nice for her history.
I can't tell you if it was the brushing or the OraVet or both that made the massive improvement, but I do know something worked.
