Since we are on the subject... so now that none of us trust the medical industry, another theory I think is a myth is that "nothing dissolves plaque, you have to scrape it off".
There surely is some chemical somewhere that we can use orally (as in, swish, not swallow) that is corrosive to the plaque and nothing else. Now just to find it.
My vet - who gives tips for homeopathic medicine - recommended Proden PlaqueOff for one of my girls who isn't a chewer... and it works! Her teeth are slick as can be, nothing sticks to them. It's made, as far as I can tell, from seaweed/kelp. Haven't figured out how to discern /which/ kelp it is to see if there is a human grade version...
