CET® OraStrip® Dental Diagnostic Test - Detail Aid

60% of the tooth structure

VISUAL EXAMS
Easily detect active periodontal disease that
can hide beneath the gumline and out of sight.
FLIPPING THE LIP
WON’T DO THE TRICK
Visual awake exams (VAEs) just aren’t enough1,2:
A recent study found that in healthy looking dogs, the VAE had
0% sensitivity in detecting active periodontal disease2
The VAE was only 6% accurate in determining the severity of
active periodontal disease in dogs with only mild inflammation2
Disease may still be present in dogs showing little to no visible signs.

REMIND YOUR CLIENTS
TO KEEP THEIR PETS’ MOUTHS HEALTHY AT HOME!
While C.E.T.® OraStrip® Dental Diagnostic Tests help you detect disease early,
daily dental care can help your clients maintain good oral health in their pets.

The simplest way for your clients to prevent plaque and tartar in their pets is to
administer 1 dental chew each day. However, the best at-home dental care also
includes daily brushing.
Encourage your clients to set aside time, each day, to protect their dogs’ oral health
using C.E.T.® Brand dental care products.
C.E.T.® Chews keep teeth cleaner.
Our line of chews gives pet owners plenty of dental care options, including:
Both rawhide and vegetable-based chews
A unique dual-enzyme system
24-hour antiseptic activity
Gentle abrasive texture to control plaque
Delicious flavor that pets love
