Why dental cleanings matter more than you think

Bad breath isn’t just a quirk. It’s usually the first sign of plaque and gum disease, and by the time a pet stops eating on one side, the problem has been there for a while.

What happens during a cleaning

Your pet is under monitored anesthesia with a nurse beside them the whole time. We take digital X-rays, clean above and below the gum line, polish, and check every tooth. Anything that needs attention is discussed with you before we do it.

Helping at home

  • Brush a few times a week with a pet toothpaste, starting slowly.
  • Ask us which dental chews actually help.
  • Book a dental check at every wellness visit.
