How does this clean their teeth and gums?

I'm not really sure, my cats don't want to have anything to do with it. I was a little disappointed when I received it, it doesn't really do anything to entice.

Yes. However, sometimes you have to clean out between the bristles and the center piece. After a while not all of the toothpaste is rinsed out or used. I just use my clean fingers to do that job. BTW this is our second Ultero. My husband was one of the testers befoer it was released to the public. Even if you skip a day it keeps you teeth in very good health. We also use some mouthwash occasionally. Hope this helps with your enjoyment of your purchase.

I use it in addition to flossing. I use mouthwash and it gets the gum line in addition to a large gap I have between two crowns that floss don't seem to clean out entirely.

No it doesnt at all. I have a few spots that are brilliant white... Like as white as teeth can get, but closer to my gums it didnt whiten at all. I dont recomend these.

They give you green trays with a thin plastic-wrap lining filed with this hydrogen peroxide based goo. There are two sizes - small for your lower teeth and larger for your upper teeth. You put the trays on your teeth and suck in slightly. The liners (with the product) will stay on your teeth and you remove the green tray. Leave the liners and the product on your teeth for about 20 or 30 minutes. If your gums get too sensitive, take a break or alternate lower and upper. Don't swallow. I like this product and so does my partner.

weird trick that I use is the effervescent tablets used to clean dentures. I drop a tablet in the bottle that's filled with water. The bubbles help loosen up the gunk in the places the bottle brush cannot reach. After the effervescents, I wash the bottle with dish soap and water. and Presto! bottle is like new

Well LDVZ, they help but the best practice is brushing. Any animal with teeth need brushing just like humans. Brushing alone is good, but flossing too is better. I use Greenies as an alternate since I can't brush their teeth,

There is a GLO system (base unit which charges a separate pack attached by a cord to a mouthpiece). You apply the GLO gel to the inside of the mouthpiece and then turn the pack (with Mouthpiece attached) "On" and it whitens your teeth.

Over a period of time if used regularly it will lessen the plaque; it does not remove it completely but it does help. I use the beef flaor and my 3 dogs don't mind their teeth being cleaned.

I scrub the tip with a toothbrush & rinse with rubbing alcohol. Works great.

You dont really. They just claim that their toothbrush will reach better. I will not buy this product again. Waste of money.

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

I mostly just rinse it out real good now and then. I know they make a cleaning solution for them, but I've never it. If you're only filling it with clean tap or purified water I would just occassionly put some clean water and a small amount of household bleach, like 1/4tsp. at most and swish it around real good, squeeze some out thru the tube and bite valve and then thoroughly rinse it, and you should be good to go.

You would have to dilute mouthwash with water to be able to have enough in the reservoir to cleanse properly. The level goes down pretty fast. You do, however, need to fill the reservoir with plain water & let it rin through after using mouthwash. The sugar in mouthwash will clog the apparatus.

It does lessen coffee and tea stains from teeth. Not a miracle worker, but a nice toothpaste. Remember to use it on a dry brush for best results. I combine with optic white rinse.

The best way to clean your dogs teeth is by brushing them every day. As you know, most dogs don't like it and it becomes a difficult task. The Greenies help keep bacteria from forming in your dog's mouth. Every breed is different; I have a Maltese and that breed is prone to bacteria (that brown stuff you see on the teeth) and the gum line can get infected. Greenies help prevent and maintain your dog's health. Most vets recommend this product. Amazon has the best price hands down; online or in a pet supply store.

I use the plastic scraper with teeth that is sold for the purpose. I also use the scrubby side of a sponge with dish detergent. Works every time.
