Looks like his focus is on the blotting method. I watched part of the video last night---- and was left wondering about another aspect.

WHat if the plaque was prevented to begin with? Is plaque the primary problem? ANd if that material is the first step toward dental disease, then how to prevent the plaque?

Im thinking about the millions of years that humans did not brush at all, and yet had gorgeous teeth, fairly healthy compared to the current situation.

Along those lines--why do modern dogs need teeth scaling, but didnt long ago? The canine teeth are not well documented, so manybe this is a bad example. My rotties had little tartar.... and that keeps me thinking and asking questions.
