CS>Dog with teeth and gum infections, CS pet testimonies?

[ESL555]

 My dog is 14 and beggining to lose teeth and has a gum infection as well. We 
have not taken good care of his teeth. My wife is leaning towards taking him 
to the vet to have teeth cleaned and pull bad ones under anesthesia as well as 
a course of antibiotics. I would like to try my 20ppm silver puppy cs in my 
dogs water bowl for a week before we see the vet. Maybe the cs will help heal 
the infection. Anyone have advice or testimonies of canine teeth and gum 
healings?
Thanks
Steve
