Product Description:
Dentahex Oral Care Chews are coated with
Chlorhexidine gluconate. Chlorhexidine, along with the natural abrading action
of beef hide, helps to remove plaque and prevent the buildup of tartar-forming
bacteria.
Chlorhexidine in the Oral
Cavity
-
Inhibits plaque accumulation
on tooth surfaces
-
Decreases the quantity of
bacteria in saliva
-
Alters the composition of
microbial flora
-
Binds to oral mucosal surfaces
and is released slowly over time
After your pet finishes a
meal, tiny food particles
combine with bacteria to form plaque. Plaque, if not removed, eventually hardens
into calculus or tartar, and can ultimately lead to periodontal disease. If left
untreated, periodontal disease is the single greatest cause of health problems
in pets. Regular veterinary check-ups and professional “dental cleanings” are an
important first defense in controlling and preventing periodontal disease.
Routine home dental care is equally important in helping keep your pet and its
teeth healthy. Simply brushing food debris and plaque from the teeth and gumline
can greatly reduce the chance of tartar build-up, periodontal disease, and bad
breath.
Remember,
your pet depends on you and your veterinarian for all its health care. Ask your
veterinarian about the many different home oral care options available to you.
