Teeth cleaning.......

[rubyduby]

My old girl is 13 1/2 and has only 4=5 teeth in her head, but they are very dirty, I have tried a couple of products that promised the earth but didnt deliver, to clean them. She cant go to the vet because of her age and she is very head shy due to lip fold soreness years ago, can anyone suggest anything that will get rid of the plaque on her teeth...that works, so tired of buying products that just dont deliver.

Firstly I don't think anything will really clear it, but my Ollie was really in the same boat and what teeth he had would smell which was a worry, I used Vets Best Dental Care Wipes which are moist and fit on your finger, they have no power really but if I rubbed tooth some colour would come off and basically more than anything it was comfortable for Ollie.  When things were bad and his gums were very bad I used Dentisept and again I would use the finger wipes to apply.  It has doggy Cordsyl in it - I preferred the normal rather than the adhesive form as Ollie would appear to find the sticky aspect off putting.

I would read up on both types Dentisept - there was another one but I will have to go and search my emails but it was the same formula and in pink tube.
