Dental sprays claim to prevent or break down plaque buildup. Many dental sprays tout that brushing is not necessary, but combining the two may be beneficial. Lindsey Schneider, D.V.M. '13, former dentistry and oral surgery resident at the Cornell University Hospital for Animals, says, “Daily tooth brushing is the most effective way of maintaining our pets’ oral health and minimizing the progression of periodontal disease. There isn’t sufficient scientific data to support the effectiveness of dental sprays, but a carefully chosen dental spray product is unlikely to do harm and may help. Schneider says, “Ultimately, all home care products are most effective when used as part of an overall dental care program that begins with a veterinarian examination and professional treatment.”
