Two questions about feline dental health

I have two questions (they are both going to sound a bit strange!)

1. Have any of you heard of or used this product:

M & C Fresh Breath & Dental - Cat & Dog

Description: Your pet's fresh breath starts with a clean, healthy mouth. Fresh Breath & Dental Care paste is an edible, fluoride-free toothpaste formulated to help reduce plaque and tartar build-up in your pet's mouth, while keeping breath fresh. A combination of natural ingredients including eucalyptus, parsley and cinnamon extracts provide the power. Because this is an edible formula, there's no need to brush and rinse. Simply offer a dose to your pet each day for best results. Safe and effective for use with dogs and cats.

I'm wondering how it works on the teeth if it doesn't actually have to be on the teeth?!

2. Do any of you give your kittens or cats poultry necks as a dental tool? I'm told that this is a popular way to keep kitty's teeth healthy. I don't know where to get them or how to use them, though.

Thank you everyone!

Yeah, I like the idea of using dental control treats better, too. Giving them bones just seems like a bad idea to me. Your suggestion that they may splinter confirms that feeling even more.

How often would you give the kitten/cat dental treats to act as a preventative treatment? Also, our younger kitten doesn't chew treats, just swallows them. Would my only option in this case be to manually brush?

Thank you for responding so quickly. I love this forum!
