Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What does OraVet Plaque Prevention Gel do for dogs’ teeth?

Ans: OraVet Plaque Prevention Gel creates an invisible barrier on the tooth surface that helps prevent bacteria from adhering to the tooth. By blocking attachment, the gel helps reduce plaque and tartar accumulation between dental cleanings and routine brushing.

Q2: How often should OraVet Plaque Prevention Gel be applied?

Ans: Apply OraVet Plaque Prevention Gel once weekly, or as directed by a veterinarian. Consistent weekly application is essential to maintain the protective barrier and reduce plaque and calculus formation over time.

Q3: Can OraVet Plaque Prevention Gel replace tooth brushing?

Ans: OraVet Plaque Prevention Gel is intended to complement, not replace, tooth brushing and professional dental care. Brushing removes existing debris, while the gel helps prevent new plaque from forming, giving dogs stronger ongoing oral support.

Q4: What is included in the OraVet 8-Week Home Care Kit?

Ans: Each kit contains eight single-use gel packs and applicators, providing one complete application per week for eight consecutive weeks. The included swabs make it easy to apply gel directly along the gumline at home.

Q5: How do I apply OraVet Plaque Prevention Gel correctly?

Ans: Wipe excess saliva first, load gel onto the applicator, and swab the upper and lower teeth at the gumline on both sides while the dog’s mouth is closed. Only the front tooth surfaces need coverage.

Q6: Is OraVet Plaque Prevention Gel safe if my dog licks or swallows some?

Ans: The gel is designed for oral use and is typically well tolerated when small amounts are licked during application. If a dog has known sensitivities or shows digestive upset, pause use and consult a veterinarian for guidance.

Q7: Does OraVet Plaque Prevention Gel have a taste or smell?

Ans: OraVet Plaque Prevention Gel is odorless and tasteless, and once applied, it becomes invisible. This makes weekly application easier for dogs that resist flavored pastes or strongly scented dental products.

Q8: Can OraVet Plaque Prevention Gel be used with dental chews or diets?

Ans: Yes, OraVet Plaque Prevention Gel is compatible with tooth brushing, dental diets, and dental chews. Using multiple dental supports together can help dogs maintain cleaner teeth and fresher breath between veterinary visits.

Q9: When should I start using OraVet Plaque Prevention Gel after a dental cleaning?

Ans: Veterinary guidance often recommends starting weekly gel applications about two weeks after a professional cleaning or barrier sealant placement. This timing helps maintain the clinic-created barrier and extend plaque control at home.

Q10: What are the active and inactive ingredients in OraVet Plaque Prevention Gel?

Ans: OraVet Plaque Prevention Gel contains hexetidine as the active ingredient, with microcrystalline wax and mineral oil as inactive ingredients. These components form the protective film that reduces bacterial attachment to teeth.
