Periodontal disease is very common disease of dogs and cats where interplay between dysbiotic microbial communities organized in dental plaque and aberrant immune responses play the most important roles. To prevent periodontal disease development and/or progression, dental plaque must be disrupted as often as possible. This is primarily achieved by mechanical (active) means, combining professional oral care and daily tooth brushing at home. If an adequate technique and timing of tooth brushing is difficult to achieve, other active and passive oral homecare measures are available or being explored.
