Dentihex Adhesive Dental Paste for Cats and Dogs
DENTIHEX® minimises plaque formation, helping to mitigate against periodontal disease in your pet.
Dental homecare such as the regular use of Dentihex is vital to keep your pet’s teeth and gums healthy.
Proven efficacy and adhesion quality
- Containing the antiseptic chlorhexidine with proven antimicrobial activity.
- Unique adhesive formulation ensures excellent adherence to the teeth and gums and maximises contact time and antiseptic effect.
High palatability = excellent compliance
- Dentihex is vanilla flavoured and very well accepted by dogs and cats.
Unique formulation provides a depot of chlorhexidine
- Chlorhexidine is slowly released over 24 hours, providing a prolonged contact time for maximum antiseptic effect.
Directions for use:
- Apply DENTIHEX® after feeding to maximise its benefits.
- For application attach the enclosed applicator to the tube. This allows easier access to the rear gum.
- Using the applicator, apply a pea-sized amount along the outside of the teeth focusing on the gumline.
- With a finger, gently cover the gums and teeth, if your pet allows.
Composition:
Paraffin, Adhesive agent, Vanilla flavour, Chlorhexidine 0.2%. For use in dogs and cats
Administration:
Dentihex is an easy to apply product. For application directly into the oral cavity it is recommended that the enclosed applicator is attached to the tube. This will allow easier access to the rear gums. Externally, the paste should be carefully spread on to the affected area using a clean finger. In the mouth, the paste is distributed by the animal’s tongue. Dentihex can be applied daily or weekly depending on the condition. For best results when being applied to the mouth Dentihex should be used after feeding.
Special notes:
Dentihex is very well tolerated. In rare cases cats may react with increased salivation. If applied over a long period of time, Dentihex may cause a brown discolouration of the teeth. However, your veterinary surgeon can remove the discolouration by ultrasonic scaling. Keep out of the sight and reach of children.

Dental Paste for Cats and Dogs
Dental care products can help keep your dog or cat’s teeth and gums clean and healthy, particularly if they’re prone to plaque build-up or bad breath. They’re commonly used as part of a regular dental care routine to help support good oral hygiene and healthy gums.
Available in an easy-to-apply paste formula, dental pastes for cats and dogs can be applied directly to the teeth and gums as part of your pet’s regular dental care routine.
How Dental Pastes Support Cats and Dogs
These dental care products are designed to help maintain healthy teeth and gums by:

- Chlorhexidine, commonly used in dental care products
- Adhesive ingredients to help the paste stay in contact with the gums
- Flavourings to help make the paste easier to use
Different products contain different ingredients, and not all dental products will work the same for every pet.
When to Consider a Dental Paste
Dental pastes may be helpful for:
- Dogs and cats prone to plaque build-up

Important to Know
