What are some VOHC accepted products for cats to help with their dental health?

I've noticed my cat seems to be having some trouble while eating, and I'm starting to worry about her dental health. I read somewhere that there are specific products recommended by the Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC) that can help maintain good dental hygiene for cats. Could you suggest any VOHC-accepted products that I might consider trying to ensure her teeth stay healthy?
