What bothers me is that I took Cooper in every year. Every year. His teeth were always "fine for his age." Then at 8 he suddenly needed five removed. How does it go from fine to five teeth being removed?? I started researching afterward and learned way more about bacteria below the gumline than I'd ever been told before. That's how I ended up here.

My Yorkie is 12 and has already had two dental surgeries. Nobody ever explained prevention to me beyond brushing and dental sticks. I honestly thought I was doing everything right. Finding out there was more I could've been doing was frustrating.

Would have liked to know this before spending $1,900 at the vet but here we are 😂

I kept mentioning the smell from my dog's mouth and kept hearing some version of "older dogs get bad breath." Turns out he had gum disease. So no, I don't really accept "dog breath is normal" anymore.

Couldn't get mine to eat food with the powder in it unfortunately.

Our previous dog lost several teeth before I ever understood what periodontal disease actually was. I thought if the visible part of the teeth looked reasonably clean, we were okay. I had no clue so much could happen beneath the gumline. With our new dog I'm approaching dental health completely differently.

why does nobody tell dog owners this BEFORE their dog needs teeth pulled???

The biofilm explanation was what got my attention. I had been buying dental chews for years assuming that covered us. Apparently dental health is more complicated than I realized. About five weeks into Lorenza now.

$40 powder or another giant vet bill. pretty easy decision for me

I still feel guilty about my first dog's teeth. She ended up losing six and I remember thinking how the hell did I let it get that bad? But we were taking her for checkups! That's why I'm so obsessive about prevention with our current dog.

Molly had awful breath for probably two years and I didn't think it meant anything serious because nobody seemed concerned about it. Then came the dental x-rays. Completely different story underneath the gums. I wish owners were taught about this BEFORE there's damage.

Apparently "dog breath" isn't something I should've been ignoring for 4 years. would've been nice to know lmao

My previous dog needed extensive dental work at 10. The worst part wasn't even paying for it. It was realizing she'd probably been uncomfortable for months without me knowing. With my puppy now, I want prevention to be something we do from the beginning rather than reacting once there's already a problem.

I was always told her teeth looked pretty good "for her age." I hate that phrase now.

Makes sense but I've only used it 2 weeks. Too early for me to give 5 stars.

I went down basically the same rabbit hole after my Golden needed dental surgery. Started reading about plaque, bacteria and biofilm and couldn't believe I'd owned dogs for 20 years without understanding any of it. We hear constantly about treats and brushing but almost nothing about what is happening below the gums.

The idea that bad breath was an early warning sign rather than just "dogs smell" was the big thing for me.

Started after our vet quoted us almost 2 grand for dental work. Wish prevention had been a bigger conversation before we got to that point.

Our beagle had six teeth removed at SEVEN. We did annual appointments. We bought dental chews. We genuinely thought we were responsible owners. Finding out how advanced everything was under his gums made me feel sick. Since then I've researched dental health myself instead of assuming no news means everything is fine. Lorenza is now just part of his breakfast.

Cheaper than having teeth pulled. good enough for me.

Never knew what a dental biofilm was before this. Went and read about it myself afterward. Pretty eye opening.

Sophie's dental last year was $3,400 and four teeth. But honestly the money wasn't what bothered me afterward. It was seeing her after anesthesia, confused and whining, and wondering whether we'd missed signs for years. I started reading everything I could about prevention after that. I don't want to be reacting once the damage is already done anymore.

I remember specifically asking whether Max's breath meant his teeth were bad and being reassured because his visible teeth looked okay. A year later he needed extractions. That's why I'm much more proactive now.
Debbie
★★★★★
The phrase "below the gumline" honestly scared me because that's exactly what I wasn't checking. I was looking at the teeth and thinking they looked okay.

Bentley's breath had this almost rotten smell. His teeth from the front honestly didn't look horrible, so I assumed we were okay. Another vet eventually did x-rays and found periodontal disease around the back teeth. Three extractions. That's when I realized visible teeth aren't the whole story. I've been using Lorenza since because I'd rather spend money preventing another problem than wait until we're back in surgery.

Second jar. Started after my 9yo had 3 teeth removed.

I don't think any powder should be treated like magic. For me this is just one part of being more proactive after getting burned by a massive dental bill once already.

The frustrating thing is I genuinely thought dental chews = dental care. That's basically all I'd ever been told to use at home.

★★★★★
Both of my dachshunds get this. My oldest already went through a dental with extractions and I don't want my younger one following the same path. I understand now that waiting until you can SEE something wrong is exactly the problem.

It's honestly crazy how much more I learned about my dog's mouth AFTER she needed surgery than in the seven years before it.

Luna is only five and at her last appointment we were told she was already developing periodontal issues. I remember thinking, how?? I brush when she'll let me, she gets dental treats, and she's FIVE. That's when I started researching what actually happens beneath the gums and learned about bacterial biofilms. Whether Lorenza means she never needs a dental procedure obviously nobody can promise, but I feel much better doing something consistently now instead of just waiting to be told things have gotten worse.

Prevention wasn't even part of the conversation until AFTER we'd already paid for extractions. That's the part that still frustrates me.

My dog's dental x-rays were what convinced me. Teeth looked relatively normal from the outside and then the x-ray showed issues underneath. You really can't judge everything by what you see.

I thought brushing was the whole thing. never even heard the word biofilm from anyone until recently

Rosie had two teeth removed last year. She came home from anesthesia completely out of it and spent that evening lying beside me whining. I remember feeling horrible because I kept wondering if there was something I should have noticed earlier. Her breath had smelled for years, but I genuinely believed that was just what older dogs smelled like. Afterward I started researching dental disease and realized how much can develop where an owner can't see it. That's why I started Lorenza. I'm not expecting it to magically reverse years of problems or guarantee she'll never need another cleaning. I just wish I'd understood prevention when Rosie was two instead of learning about it after she'd already lost teeth.
