Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / April 2006Sympathy
Last September my baby girl Brandy had to have several teeth extracted due some bizarre gingival abcess, and now has to have daily toothbrushing with squirts of this kitty mouthrinse every other day or so. She's very good for the brushing, which just astounds the vet; she told us that most cats prefer the rinse, and that the brushing should be the every other day and gave us an A+ for out Bit's daily dental. But the rinse, now... I never figured Brandy was the most resourceful of cats, but when she sees Louie with the bottle she's found remarkable ways and places to ditch herself; and for one who isn't particularly graceful, has learned to get herself into places we just can't reach without help from the fire department. A month or so ago I had an appointment with my friend and dentist Eric, who told me I had gingival evil going on. Didn't need 7 extractions, but he did give me The Rinse Of Doom. This foul-tasting concoction could make gasoline on the rocks a nice refreshing drink. Now i wish I could crawl into that reeeeaaaally high closet shelf that I never thought Brandy could reach. My dear Little Bit, I finally understand you!!! Blessed be, Baha > A month or so ago I had an appointment with my friend and dentist > Eric, who told me I had gingival evil going on.

What rinse did he give you? I have been given Peridex twice over the last few months - which is a prescription dental rinse but it doesn't taste that bad. I have had a lot of dental work done over the last few months and it's not over yet. I have had two teeth pulled, several fillings re-done, and caps put on. Later on this year I will have a dental implant put in. We are just waiting for the bone graft to heal up first. Later on I will need another bone graft will need to be done and more waiting for healing before the implant can be put in. Hopefully the implant will be in place and done before the end of this year. rrb I think it's called Chlorhexidine or some other species of alphabet soup. A rinse by any other name is still revolting. In an ironic twist, pouring out my morning dose, Brandy was highly curious and enjoyed the smell of the offensive blend. Tonight we'll be pulling her from the topmost shelf of the kitchen cabinets, where her calico pattern blends nicely with our Indian spices. And many purrs to you for safe and painless dentistry!

I think that's probably Peridex - which is Chlorhexidine Gluconate. The one I have is a 0.12 % solution but perhaps the one you have is a stronger solution. Either that or I am jaded from the Whiskey and Tequila shots I take from time to time which you may not do. Peridex is tame compared to them. But in any case I hope it gets better for you and the cats soonest! > In an ironic twist, pouring out my morning dose, Brandy was highly curious > and enjoyed the smell of the offensive blend.

Thank you! I hope it will be as painless as possible. But if it is not I have Tylenol with Codeine saved up in case I need it later. Depending on the availability of donor or synthetic bone I might need a surgeon to take a bone graft from somewhere else in my body for use in my mouth. I hope it doesn't come to that though.

My theory on Listerine original is that it works by making your tastebuds gang up on the plaque and evict it.

Yeah, what's with all the mouthwash and toothpaste in what I consider weird flavors, these days? What's wrong wiht plain ordinary peppermint? > Joyce SignatureNewsGuy.Com 30Gb $9.95 Carry Forward and On Demand Bandwidth > Yeah, what's with all the mouthwash and toothpaste in what I consider > weird flavors, these days? What's wrong wiht plain ordinary peppermint? Well, there are some, like me, who hate the taste of peppermint. In fact, I hate the taste of mint in most things. I'd rather use that nasty orange gook than the peppermint stuff. Pam S. who does use that nasty orange gook >> Yeah, what's with all the mouthwash and toothpaste in what I consider >> weird flavors, these days? What's wrong wiht plain ordinary peppermint?

Spearmint is OK, Wintergreen is good, Cinnamon is excellent, but peppermint? Gak. Katrina |
