Block plaque, calculus, and halitosis with the science of prevention The mechanism of action is simple but remarkably effective: Each daily chew releases delmopinol hydrochloride, a surfactant used for years in a human oral rinse, to create a barrier that prevents bacterial attachment. 2,3 When bacteria can't attach, they can't produce plaque bioflms or the volatile sulfur compounds of halitosis. And the scrubbing action of the chew works in parallel to effectively remove plaque and calculus.
