Claims17
A method of applying oral treatment gel to a canine's gums comprising the steps of:
- applying treatment gel to an applicator;
- lifting the upper lip on a first side of the canine's mouth to grant visibility and access to the upper teeth and gums of the canine;
- gently pressing the treatment gel at the gum line of the tooth furthest from the front of the canine's mouth;
- moving the applicator in a circular and counterclockwise direction while maintaining gentle pressure on the canine's tooth, wherein the path of movement is an “Upper Rotation” comprising the following steps:
- (a) starting from the gum line and moving slightly downward and in the direction of the next tooth towards the front of the canine's mouth,
- (b) moving to the pointed end of the tooth being cleaned and away from the gum line,
- (c) moving slightly upward and toward the back edge of the tooth being cleaned and away from the front of the mouth, and
- (d) returning back to the gum line of the tooth being cleaned;
- moving the applicator to the adjacent tooth in the direction of the front of the mouth;
- continuing to apply the treatment gel, using the Upper Rotation, to each tooth on the first side of the canine's upper jaw;
- stopping application of the treatment gel to the upper teeth of the first side of the canine's mouth after applying the gel to the upper front teeth of the canine;
- lifting the upper lip on a second side of the canine's mouth to grant visibility and access to the upper teeth and gums of the canine;
- gently pressing the applicator at the gum line of the tooth furthest from the front of the canine's mouth;
- moving the applicator using the Upper Rotation to clean each tooth on the second side of the canine's upper jaw,
- stopping application of the treatment gel to the upper teeth on the second side of the canine's mouth after applying the gel to the front upper teeth of the canine;

- lifting the upper lip and on the first side of the canine's mouth to grant visibility and access to the lower teeth and gums of the canine;
- gently pressing the treatment gel at the gum line of the tooth furthest from the front of the canine's mouth;
- moving the applicator in a circular and counterclockwise direction while maintaining gentle pressure on the canine's tooth, wherein the path of movement is a “Lower Rotation” comprising the following steps:

- lifting the upper lip on a second side of the canine's mouth to grant visibility and access to the lower teeth and gums of the canine;
- gently pressing the applicator at the gum line of the tooth furthest from the front of the canine's mouth;
- moving the applicator using the Lower Rotation to clean each tooth on the second side of the canine's lower jaw;
- stopping application of the treatment gel to the lower teeth on the second side of the canine's mouth after applying the gel to the front upper teeth of the canine;
- and
- preventing the canine from ingesting any food or water for at least one hour after treatment.
