Do I still need to brush my cat’s teeth if I give them Greenies? - Briar Patch Veterinary Hospital
Yes, you should still brush your cat's teeth even if you provide them with dental treats. Dental treats can help improve dental health, but brushing their teeth is the most effective way to maintain good oral hygiene for your cat.

Do I still need to brush my cat’s teeth if I give them Greenies? - Horizon Animal Hospital
Yes, chew items, like greenies, are good to help remove the tartar, but brushing the teeth provides a more abrasive action, removing some of that biofilm and the bacteria that form on the teeth.
