Default Dental cleaners

There's a dental cleaner that I'm interested in getting and I'm
wondering if it works. This particular one is called Liquid Oral
Care and is made by Petkin. It says it cleans teeth and freshens
breath, fights plaque and gum disease,


I don't think so.


it also contains baking soda. It's
odorless and tasteless and you add it to the pet's water. I think
you add something like 1 teaspoon to 8 ounces of water. I hear
that it's supposed to work like a mouth wash.


Which doesn't work very well for fighting plaque and gum disease.

Fortunately, we humans have electric toothbrushes. They do a number
on plaque and gum disease. If you enjoy good dental hygiene, they
are heavenly (with regular flossing).

Cat dental hygiene is different.


Obviously, a professional dental cleaning is the best


Yeah, I think that's about it.

Good luck.
