Now, if your pet will not allow you to brush, and for some reason, refuses dental food and/or treats, the next best thing is an oral hygiene rinse that, like the food and treats, helps prevent plaque from adhering to the teeth. It is also beneficial to use the oral hygiene rinse in conjunction with dental foods, brushing and/or treats.
Regular dental exams when your pet comes in for a visit with the doctor are also an important part of preventive care. Problems can be spotted early - when they are most easily treated.
Just as your own dentist recommends annual cleanings for optimum oral health, the doctors at Beaver Brook recommend that your pet come in for regular professional cleanings.
