OraVet plaque prevention
|
DULUTH, GA.—Merial reports its newest product, OraVet™, marks a breakthrough in pet oral healthcare. OraVet is a dental barrier sealant
and plaque prevention gel system that is used to significantly reduce the formation of plaque and calculus — two key factors
in the onset and persistence of periodontal disease.
The OraVet system is a two-prong approach to dental care. This product allows the veterinarian and pet owner to work together
to proactively prevent plaque and calculus build-up.
Dr. Zack Mills, executive director of Merial's Companion Animal Global Enterprises, says, "What makes this product so exciting
is that it is the first preventive, clinically applied product designed specifically for animal dental care. The implications
of poor dental/oral health in dogs and cats include bad breath, oral discomfort, loss of teeth and even possible systemic
problems — all of which serve to diminish the strength of the human-animal bond that veterinarians strive to maintain."
Dental disease is the most commonly reported health disorder for companion animals. According to the American Dental Society,
80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats show signs of having oral/dental disease by the age of 3. The product works this way, after a routine cleaning: a veterinarian applies the sealant along the gum line. This sealant
is a patented polymer that electrostatically adheres to the tooth's enamel. Once applied it creates an invisible barrier that
has been clinically proven to significantly reduce the formation of plaque and calculus.
