Guest AKJZD Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I am taking my greyhound for his second dental this week, the first was before we adopted him 3 yrs ago. Our vet is recommending a dental sealant, Sanos, following the cleaning. I do not know much about this, and am wondering if anyone has ever heard of or used this product. Jake has a very sensitive tummy so we cannot use turkey necks to keep his teeth clean. We do brushing as often as possible, but he really fights it and we cannot do a very good job. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After his dental last March the vet recommended oravet sealant which we use and it has made a huge difference. It's easy getting it on his teeth, I have to dry them with a paper towel and then paint it on. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to find their website, so you can check it out for yourself at www.allaccem.com Also from what I know, it is a non-toxic liquid polymer that is applied along and under the gumline and dries in a matter of seconds. Another thing to note is that there is no take home application for the homeowner unlike oravet. Since you are fighting to do any home compliance with Jake, this would be a plus. Hope this helps.... ruff ruff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sheila Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I don't know how it works on dogs, but I had my skin kid get sealants on her teeth and she has never had a cavity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mcsheltie Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 That looks like great stuff. Hope to hear more about others experience. Does anyone know how long this has been on the market? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshot Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I don't know how it works on dogs, but I had my skin kid get sealants on her teeth and she has never had a cavity. Human sealants are a completely different thing. They help prevent decay - something that dogs rarely have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshot Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 (edited) Periodontal sealants for dogs are a "might help, won't hurt" kind of thing, as far as I can see. From what I've seen, research is lacking on showing that it really helps in the long term, but short-term studies are good. If you can afford to do it, go ahead. There is no FDA approved product for human use that is similar to what is used on dogs, so I can't speak from any experience on my human patients. If you do decide to try it, please let us know what you think. It might be interesting to try it on one side of the mouth (for half price??) and see how the two sides of the mouth compare after some time.

Guest Greensleeves Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Whistler had a history of minor auto-immune gum infections, and our vets used a product called Doxyrobe in his last dental, and I really think it helped him. My understanding is that it's similar to what Allbark described--a "caulk-like" substance that they pack in and around the gums and teeth, with some long-term anti-biotic properties. It's not visible, although I suspect that after the application there was probably some discomfort for a few hours/days. I believe it does eventually wear off and need to be re-applied (although Whistler's lasted at least two years before he died). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
