Now I went back and read your post and I see where you mentioned it and it makes total sense to increase the saliva flow in certain cases, and I understand why you posted to clarify now (at first I was all, what is she clarifying, lol?). That's actually really good info about saliva flow! |
I definitely agree feeding kibble doesn't help. Winston ate kibble before I adopted him and thereafter. He doesn't chew. He seems to flow saliva a lot with his oinkie chew, but he still produces more plaque than I've ever seen before... As Linda says... "It's a sin!" I just ordered a gel to try putting on his teeth in the morning. I've tried almost everything but it hasn't helped. The dentist told me to try my best to keep it away from the gum line but it drives me crazy that he has anything on his teeth with all my home care.
