My dogs have always had excellent teeth and clean mouths with fresh breath as a result of good oral care. You need a vet to check the mouth at least annually and should go with their recommendations on dentals.

As for yellow on the gum. I do not have that building up on my dogs' teeth. A chew item could help to remove some of it but it sounds like a dental may be in order by a veterinarian.

That's what Ian uses! I also use CET Dental Rinse (I'll mix a little with his tooth paste} and so far he has nice pearly white teeth. He also uses a baby toothbrush; I change them about once a month, or so.

I rub it in my mini schnauzers ears and on her beard, and shared it on the mini schnaizer and schnorkie pages (on FB) other members have had great success with it controlling yeast...for that matter I use it as a diaper rash preventative for my skin baby after he got a yeast diaper rash during the summer-its a miracle!
I really love Aunt Patty's Cold Pressed Raw Coconut oil (its from Hawaii)$15 a jar last us over a month using it daily several times on both dog & child.

All I can say is that it would really depend on its market source. Preferably the prominent one's like mentioned above. Despite of all the rumors that good toothbrush comes from good names, it will really just depend on the user's part whether you are using a so called power toothbrush or something, and you don't know how to handle it properly, it's still useless.

For some reason, Dinky who I would describe as having a cast iron stomach, has trouble with every dog toothpaste we have tried. Somehow, he must swallow a bit because every time he ends up throwing up. Our vet too said absolutely no human toothpaste.
So every night DH uses just a touch of baking soda, and Dinky tolerates that.
We also use the drops in his drinking water.

I use CET toothpaste from my vet. It is vanilla mint flavor. Spud has some real doggy breath so it helps him. They both come running when I say brush teeth. I get the smallest toothbrushes. JoJo tends to chew the bristles but still they get that paste on their teeth. I also use the little finger one to rub on the sides of their mouth. Then I say, Lick, lick and they lick the brush. Works for them and they love it.
