Using an Oral hygiene rinse is an important part of good oral hygiene for your pet. Effective oral hygiene can prevent the development or progression of periodontal disease and maintain good gingival health in your pet.
Within hours of a professional dental cleaning, plaque, an invisible bacterial slime, will form on the tooth surfaces. Daily brushing of the teeth with a soft-bristled nylon toothbrush will help remove this plaque and also massage the gingiva, improving the gingival health of your pet. On days that brushing is not possible, rinsing the teeth and gums with an Oral hygiene rinse can be beneficial.
After each meal, gently expose the teeth and gums by elevating the upper lip. Holding the bottle in an upright position and below your pet’s field of vision, squeeze a gentle stream of rinse and completely cover the entire oral cavity. Gentle massage over the teeth can help move the rinse around and dislodge food and bacteria.
Be careful to not touch the gum with the nozzle which could easily injure the gum of a wiggly pet.
If the product you have purchased is suitable also for tooth brushing, place a small amount in a clean dish or cup. Dip the brush into the solution and while holding the animal’s head steady carefully gently brush the teeth, re-wetting the brush in the solution as necessary.
Be sure to praise your dog to increase her compliance with this care. By making the teeth cleaning procedure a happy event, your pet will request this attention and not let you skip a day!
If a treatment is missed, perform it as soon as you can. If it is already time for the next treatment, skip the missed treatment and go back to the normal schedule.
Store at controlled room temperature.
Avoid contact with eyes.
Keep this and all medication out of reach of children and animals. May be harmful if swallowed.

FOR VETERINARY USE ONLY
INDICATIONS: C.E.T. Oral Hygiene Rinse contains ZincChlorhexidate™, a synergistic combination of two effective oral hygiene compounds to guard against plaque without brushing. ZincChlorhexidate™ combines chlorhexidine, the most effective antiplaque agent available, and zinc gluconate, a compound which inhibits plaque and calculus maturation, enhances the antiplaque activity of chlorhexidine and reduces bad breath. C.E.T. Oral Hygiene Rinse also contains cetylpyridium chloride for fresher, clean-smelling breath.
Use C.E.T. Oral Hygiene Rinse daily on days when brushing isn't possible. C.E.T. Oral Hygiene Rinse is alcohol free, and will leave your pet with clean teeth and fresh breath while providing soothing, temporary relief of minor gum irritation.
DIRECTIONS: Rinse daily following each meal as directed by your veterinarian. Hold the bottle in the upright position, below your pet's field of vision. Gently elevate the upper lip to expose the teeth and gums. Point and squeeze to apply a gentle stream of C.E.T. Oral Hygiene Rinse. Avoid touching the gum with the nozzle to avoid any injury in case of movement of your pet.
ACTIVE INGREDIENTS: 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate, 0.05% cetylpyridinium chloride, and zinc in a soothing alcohol-free vehicle. Chlorhexidine is present in free and encapsulated form.
IMPORTANCE OF ORAL HYGIENE: Plaque is the soft, grayish-white film which is formed continuously on tooth surface by the proliferation of bacteria. Within days, plaque mineralizes into calculus, or tartar, which acts as a framework for further plaque development. If not eliminated, plaque bacteria can infect the gums and structures which support the teeth. The result is gingivitis and eventually periodontal disease, which causes bad breath, pain and tooth loss. Chronic oral infection can also lead to disease in other parts of the body, including the heart, lungs and kidneys.
Spherulite technology is a patented encapsulation system developed by Virbac, which can extend the release of active ingredients at the site of application for longer efficacy.
