Sure brushing is more effective, but some tooth gels state that just getting the gel in contact with the teeth and gums will also work.

Kathy I am going to be applying the rinse on a q-tip..I cannot reach those back teeth with anything else. I have been applying the coconut oil with my fingers on the tooth that was loose and she didn't lose that one. I am going to use the coconut oil on those back teeth too. I have it and use it on their food every day so It sure can't hurt to coat her teeth with it also. There is no way to get the tiniest toothbrush on those back teeth.
My goal is to help her keep the teeth she has left. I use a dental gel and water additive now and have been for the last year. I can't recommend it at this point..it did nothing to help her and I started using it on clean teeth after her dental last spring.

It wasn't good news

She did keep the tooth that was loose from the hair incident, but she lost 6 others

One Molar, two pre-molars and 4 canines. I am in tears for my sweet girl.

Oh, that poor sweet baby, I'm so glad she's awake and made it through anesthesia but so sorry for all the tooth loss. Poor baby!!!

We are home now and jada is doing really good. She had her supper of kibble with warm broth I made from boiling lean steaks. I put a tad of steak in there too😁 with green beans and ran it through the food processor. She gobbled it down.
She lost the pre-molars and the big molar due to dead roots😪the canines were just hanging and very loose. I hope this new rinse works.
Thank you all for the prayers and thoughts. We appreciate each and every one of them.

Sweet Jada. I'm so glad she is are over surgery, home, well-bed and no doubt being doted on and pampered still more by mommie! I hope you both have a restful night and soon those gums of her are completely healed.

Maximo · 02-13-2013, 02:06 PM

I'm sorry to hear about the lost teeth, but I am happy the big day is over and that Jada is coming home. Wishing her and you a peaceful evening.

Cha Cha · 02-13-2013, 02:11 PM

Sorry you lost a couple teeth, Jada, but so glad you're home being pampered and have this awful experience behind you. Many hugs.

MandiesMom · 02-13-2013, 02:15 PM

Oh Michelle, I'm so sorry to hear Jada had to lose those teeth. These animals are so resilient. She will come thru this and just eat a different way and adjust. I promise.

I'm glad you are using coconut oil. That is what I brush Mandie's teeth with everynight. Ended up being what I thought was best and then she agreed because it's all she'll let me use. Praying it keeps helping Jada.

Perrella · 02-13-2013, 02:18 PM

So glad Jada is back home and mommy's lovin. Sorry she lost some teet. I worry about Zhoie too. Her mouth is so small I can't get a brush in there and I have tried so many.

Tell me about the coconut oil. How does it work and where do you buy it? I really need to do more to help Saydee keep her teeth.

Glad Jada is home and getting all that special treatment!! Love that beautiful baby girl!!

Judy I buy the Nutiva cold pressed coconut oil. Our local health food store sells it. I have just been rubbing it on her teeth and gums. They eat it every day on their kibble and have been for a couple of years but just started using it on their teeth and gums.

Teresa Ford · 02-13-2013, 04:14 PM

Michelle, I am sorry she lost teeth. But, glad it is over and she is home recovering. I always worry till I know they come through and are at home.

MishyMish · 02-13-2013, 04:40 PM

I'm glad everything went well for Jada.

Sorry to hear Jada lost the teeth that you were not expecting her to lose, but glad she is home and on her way to a full recovery.
