The first step toward good oral
health is a dental health checkup.

Your veterinarian may recommend a dental cleaning or "prophylaxis," which should include an in-clinic application of OraVet barrier sealant to the newly cleaned teeth.

To maintain this protective barrier, you apply OraVet Plaque Prevention Gel to your pet's teeth and gum line weekly at home. Applying weekly can help reduce the formation of plaque and calculus.

"The American Animal Hospital Association recommends applying an anti-plaque substance, such as a sealant, as an essential step in dental cleaning. That's why applying OraVet sealant is standard procedure for every dental prophy in our clinic. OraVet allows our clients to keep up with their pet's oral hygiene after they leave the clinic. The once-a-week home care component is easy, and clients tell us that their dogs respond well."
