What is he truth about certain types of food being better or worse for kitty dental health? Do I need to brush their teeth?

Hi!
I'm not a vet, but in my opinion the bottom line is that unless a person is feeding a carefully managed raw diet that may include raw chicken wings et al, there aren't any commercial cat foods that will help to clean cats' teeth.
Brushing is a really good thing, but still doesn't take the place of vet visits that include dental checkups.

I brush my cat’s teeth eat evening then apply Healthy Mouth gel to his teeth. I don’t think ground food, canned food or dry food do much for cleaning teeth. Chucks of raw muscle meat or small raw bone can help clean teeth.
