Will orapup help with gum disease and tooth decay?

I wouldn't think so as it is for the tongue to help bad breath. Whether this helps to stop germs travelling to gums I think you would have to ask the designer of the product. chris collard

Potentially, as it would clean off the bacteria, I imagine it could help gum & tooth illness? However, my dogs wouldn't lick the stuff, so I can't answer with authority. We get our small dog's teeth cleaned ultrasonically (no anesthesia) every three months, and it makes a big difference in her breath. We also like a vanilla mint toothpaste (rarely use it, but when we do, the clean scent remains a good 12 hours minimum). The toothpaste is "enzymatic" and is called C.E.T. Enzymatic Toothpaste.

Hi--I've been using this for years, and I think it works much better as a preventative than as a "cure," which sounds like what you are looking for. If your cat has dental problems, then a veterinary cleaning is probably necessary. If there is infection involved, then the vet should be involved.

Absolutely not. This is just used to clean your gums and get food particles from between your teeth.

I don't know. I have used it for years and like it. The packaging shows it was developed by doctors and recommended by dentists. Maybe the website has the answer, or has a "contact" email address or FAQ portion.

I would suggest using the clear vegetable capsules if you're going to ingest. I am not ingesting--using to brush my teeth at night--a great teeth whitener.

I do not believe so. The oratene is designed to help the gingivitis as well as to sweeten an animal's breath. Also, it is less expensive than the Oratene. Our vet suggested this product for us to use with our cats.

I looked up 'bleeding gums' and could see that there can be several causes. I would try this, because it seems to work well at fighting inflammation. But also see a dentist. I can tell you that I have had several flare-ups with three teeth that were bothering me. Two are fine now! & one is a little sensitive. Took a few months, but anytime they bothered me I used garlic slices & turmeric. So, although the dentist recommended a total of 3 root canals, I'm not planning on having any. Flossing is also important! and only takes a few minutes each night. In addition to using this toothpaste several times a day, have also rubbed turmeric powder on the gums before falling asleep. It's a natural remedy & spice used for thousands of years. It works to stop the inflammation. Can also put slices of garlic on the gums for 20 mins, don't swallow (use a tissue if you need to ), then rinse. Sometimes it stings a little, but really well worth it as it absorbs bacteria. I've just ordered this same brand of Neem mouthwash. (vitacost.com) Good luck!

My husband uses this strength and leaves it on 40-45 mins. It works for him because he has no gum sensitivity.

Yes, it helps. I've been using it for several years and it has reduced the cleaning time at my dentist visits and has maintained my oral health. My dentist and hygienist have commented on how healthy my teeth and gums are.

Can't answer that. I'm using it for gums/teeth (not been very persistent/consistent) in conjunction with Dr. Christopher's Complete Bone and Tissue Formula. http://amzn.to/1rCTu3s

nor sure. My dog is picky because of his allergies. Some days he loves these some days he wants nothing to do with them. Cleaning his teeth does not enter into it

I just did some checking on line when I read this. I read an article on abcactionnews.com that said hygienists said the microbeads are polyethylene and can trap bacteria and cause gum disease. P&G; (Crest) spokesperson said their products would be free of this by March 2016. Also not only is it bad for you, it is bad for the environment. I like this product, but I am not going to buy it until I know for sure it is free of these beads.

Yes with plaque and tartar and yes with gums and gingivitis but you must brush your dog's teeth. Sounds crazy but I use the Phillips Sonic brush for my two Cocker Spaniels and they have good teeth and gum health.

The label says that it addresses plaque and tartar which is generally the cause of gingivitis. If your dog has a bad case of gingivitis I would suggest that you see a vet to see if your dog needs to get its teeth professionally cleaned and then start on this product.

Basically, this is an antibacterial, antitartar/plaque/gum disease preventive-curative/anti-inflammatory to gums and mouth ulcers of an instrument to use. Flossing need not be done, but I do it occassionally, just to make sure. Food particles can get stuck between some teeth, and not others. Ultrasound technology (high frequency sound) can also keep teeth whiter. Consult your dentist, but some are not very familiar with this item, or if they are, may say something to the effect: that more research is needed. Well, I bought it and use it anyway, and so far, I am better off with this instrument for better oral health.
