| Dental Care Shouldn't Be Like Pulling Teeth Because our pets can't brush their own teeth, it's up to their owners to ensure their pets get the oral care they need. Trouble begins when food particles and bacteria build up in the mouth forming plaque and tartar, which leads to gingivitis and severe periodontal disease. Periodontal disease leads to tooth decay, bad breath, bleeding gums, and in severe cases, tooth loss. Even more complications may arise when the bacteria from the mouth enter the pet's bloodstream, possibly resulting in damage to the heart, liver, kidneys, and lungs. Monitor your pet's oral health and contact your veterinarian if you have concerns. The American Veterinary Dental Society recommends these steps for pet oral health:
Teaching your pet to accept a regular dental program early in his life is by far the easiest way to keep plaque at bay. Use the following guidelines to clean your pet’s teeth and do it regularly.
Dental disease is one of the most common problems we see. Periodontal disease is the most commonly diagnosed disease in cats and dogs over the age of 3 years. Just as we can prevent many viral diseases by using vaccines, we can also prevent a great majority of dental disease by following the easy steps described above. Dental Clens® Pads: Hold pet's head steady with one hand. Gently wipe teeth and gums with pad. Use additional pads as needed until entire mouth has been cleaned. Ingredients: 0.1% Chlorhexidine Gluconate Additional Ingredients: Water, Glycerin, Polysorbate 80, Peppermint Flavor, Carmine Color. |

| Q. | If I use the Dental Clens products do I still have to brush my pet's teeth with toothpaste? |
|---|---|
| A. | The Dental Cleanser or Dental Clens pads should be sufficient for dental care. If you find that your pet's teeth still need some extra attention, you can also brush their teeth with toothpaste.
|
| Q. | How many Dental Clens Pads do I need each time I clean my pet’s teeth? |
|---|---|
| A. | The amount of pads to use during each cleaning depends on how big your dog is plus how much plaque your dog's teeth have.
|
| Q. | How do I use the Dental Clens Pads and Dental Cleanser? |
|---|---|
| A. | The Dental Clens Pads can easily be wiped over your pet's teeth to clean them. The Dental Cleanser can be used with a toothbrush, a swab, or as an oral rinse. If you are using a toothbrush or a swab, dip it into a cup or a bowl filled with the solution and gently brush your pet's teeth. Dip the brush or swab as needed. If you use it as an oral rinse, simply squirt cleaner in mouth and massage over gums and teeth.
|
| Q. | Can I use the solution or the pads every day? |
|---|---|
| A. | The Dental Cleanser and Dental Clens Pads are safe to be used everyday. A daily dental cleansing routine is beneficial to your pet's teeth and overall health.
|
| Q. | Do I have to use both the solution and the pads? |
|---|---|
| A. | Some people find that one product is easier to use than the other. We have the two products to give you more options on cleaning your pet's teeth. If your pet has a lot of build up on his teeth you may want to use both, but it is not required.
|
| Q. | Will this help my pet's breath? |
|---|---|
| A. | Yes. During cleaning, the bacteria that causes bad breath is removed from your pet's mouth. There is also a peppermint flavor in both products to freshen your pet's breath.
|
| Q. | What is chlorhexidine and what does it do? |
|---|---|
| A. | Chlorhexidine is an antibacterial agent that kills bacteria. Bacteria are one of the major factors causing plaque.
|
| Q. | Is it safe if my pet swallows some of the Dental Cleanser? |
|---|---|
| A. | Dental Cleanser can be ingested; your pet will swallow a small amount during cleaning. Swallowing some of the cleaner should not cause a problem for your pet.

My dogs had serious plaque buildup on their teeth. After just one bottle of Drs. Foster & Smith Dental Cleanser Solution, they have beautiful white teeth, all nine of them. We also use it on the cat's teeth. They all like the taste. |

My 6 year old cat was starting to get some plaque build-up on her teeth and her vet asked me to begin cleaning her teeth daily. I bought these pads for my cat because they are easy to handle and she accepts them better than she would a toothbrush. Within just a few months, we went back to the vet for a routine exam. The vet couldn't believe her eyes! She told me that my cat's teeth looked "phenomenal"! The plaque build-up had been greatly reduced and my cat's teeth and gums looked healthier than ever! I am thrilled with this product and would highly recommend it to any cat owner! |
