It is a glorified toothbrush and I think you&#39;ll find all your answers here:&nbsp;<a target='_blank' href="https://www.rcvs.org.uk/document-library/a-statement-on-anaesthesia-free-dental-procedures-for-cats-dogs/">https://www.rcvs.org.uk/document-library/a-statement-on-anaesthesia-free-dental-procedures-for-cats-dogs/</a>&nbsp;Just like regular toothbrushing, an oral health assessment by a veterinarian should be undertaken prior to toothbrushing, and&nbsp;toothbrushing is only&nbsp; really effective if done daily or every other day (harvey 2015 JVD). Hope that helps!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
