Why do I need to clean my dogs teeth?

Like humans, domesticated dogs need their teeth cleaning too

Like us they get bacteria in their mouths, and if neglected it starts to turn into plaque which then becomes tartar, which can then lead to gum disease, tooth loss, and expensive vet bills.

Did you know? In the UK, dental disease is the most common health problem in dogs, affecting 12.5% annually, according to the Royal Veterinary College (RVC).

Also plaque build-up doesn’t just affect the mouth. Over time, bacteria can enter the bloodstream, impacting organs like the heart, liver, and kidneys.

Again like humans, not every dogs oral health is the same due to diet, what they like to chew, or don’t like to chew and genetics

How can you help your dog’s oral health?

1. I recommend seeing if your local dog groomer offers professional Ultrasound dog Teeth Cleaning package.
2. Use Stomodine Toothpaste daily after the Ultrasound teeth clean to maintain a better oral health for your dog.
3. Continue with the Ultrasound teeth cleaning maintenance package with your groomer.
4. See if your dog will chew antler horns, cow hoofs
5. Review their diet & treats. Try natural treats like sprats or sea jerky

While dental cleaning is an investment, the cost pales compared to treatments for advanced dental disease, such as extractions or periodontal surgery.

What is the difference between ultrasound teeth cleaning & veterinary dental treatment?

It’s important to note that ultrasound teeth cleaning complements, but does not replace, veterinary dental treatments. Think of it as the hygienists, while the vets are the dentists. Our focus is on prevention, removing plaque and tartar before they cause serious issues. Whereas veterinary care is required for advanced dental disease, extractions, or other medical interventions. Together, we ensure your pet receives complete oral health care.

Whilst investing in your dog’s oral health, we cannot guarantee that veterinary dental work might still be needed during the life of the dog due to other factors like diet & genetics.
