DENTISTRY SANOS Dental Sealant has been accepted by the Veterinary Oral Health Council and is applied by a veterinary professional during the oral hygiene procedure. SANOS is a hydrophilic polymer that seals the subgingival sulcus or small pocket from the accumulation of plaque and tartar. The hydrophilic design of the sealant is uniquely engineered to attract water and allow oxygen to pass through to create an unfavorable environment for anaerobes. Reapplication is recommended at six-month intervals. Home care products are OK to use with SANOS, though withholding dental diets, dental chews, water additives and gels for seven days after a professional cleaning is recommended. OraVet Plaque Prevention Gel is a hydrophobic wax that binds electrostatically to tooth enamel, creating a barrier that helps prevent plaque-forming bacteria from attaching. OraVet is applied professionally during the oral hygiene procedure and then weekly by the client thereafter. It has been clinically proven to significantly reduce the formation of plaque and calculus in dogs and cats. 1-3 There are no restrictions on withholding treats or at-home dental care after application. Periodontal disease is the most common malady affecting dogs and cats. With 42 teeth in dogs and 30 in cats, you have a great opportunity to make a difference in the lives of your patients and their caregivers.
