yea, termidor etc is not available over the counter, so anyone who have termite problems at home, could try spraying with frontline first b4 calling pest controllers who charges a bomb.
video is a good idea, need some time to get it done,
im lucky my mutts don't put up a struggle, or bite my hand, its only their tongue thts a bit in the way when they are swallowing while i brush, and also the brush will irritate their palate when i brush the inside of the teeth, this sometimes will make them gagged for a very short moment, if this happens just stop the brushing and con't when it stopped.
i didn't start brushing my mutts teeth at least once every 2 days until 2 years ago. they are now 10yo.
initially i tot just chews n' some erratic brushing with the finger brush is suffice, this has been done for many years until i saw the greenies poster in sea park pet, it shows the stages of periodontal disease (very good marketing by greenies).
carefully checked their teeth n' realised that there is quite a lot of tartar on those last molars, the colour is just like the teeth itself, so sometimes ppl dun notice it, and u need to pull the lips wide enuff to have a good look.
after scaling, i noticed gingival recession, attachment loss, on most of the teeth and quite serious on one molar. went to animal hospital for more opinion, dr siva advice using the laser to remove the gumline further, to prevent food from accumulating there. he used some kinda cement (not those in dentalvet) to patch the exposed root n' furcation. the cement job wasn't a good one, most of it fell off, and it actually prevents the gum from growing/healing well.
i wasn't satisfied, so i went to dr prem, to have all the cement removed and to extract the bad molar.now the gums healed nicely.

The whole process to polish & waiting my dog to wake up is about 1 hour 15min for a dog.

But now, he is more relax already. I brush his teeth every week when i bath him. All in one go! So I think it's time for him to graduate from Thimble school and move on the real thing!!!
