Leba-3 Removed Plaque on Border Collie's Teeth?
That's right. That's one of the things my vet said. That doing a half
assed job of getting off the plaque was worse than not doing it at all. But that's for bad plaque that has gone next to or under the gumline. Removing *any hard* tartar can cause gum injury, even if you are only attending to exposed placque on the tooth surface. It's kind of like scraping old paint off woodwork - you always nick the beautiful molding you're trying to save. Then your spouse yells at you - tells you that you shouldn't be doing his job - you pout - and next thing you know, you've washed yourself of the whole ordeal and are sipping cocktails while watching him do it! |

Not that you'd know firsthand or anything....that was just hypothetical, right? heh Tara |

*But*, the Leba-3 is supposed to soften the plaque making it *real*
easy to remove. As long as you use something soft and gentle to do this. Not abrasive or sharp (like your fingernail or very hard toothbrush). |
