Ensure Your Dog’s Health with Professional Dental Cleaning

Your dog’s dental health is a crucial part of their overall well-being. Poor dental hygiene can lead to serious health issues, including bad breath, gum disease and of course, tooth loss. Left untreated, dental problems can also affect major organs like the heart and kidneys and cause serious health problems. Poor dental health is one of the most common health problems that cause daily pain and affect the quality of life for our pets. At Balmain Veterinary Hospital, we provide expert dog dental cleaning services to prevent these complications and ensure your pet maintains a healthy and happy life. Book an appointment today and give your furry friend the best dental care possible.

Why Dog Dental Cleaning is Essential

Regular dog dental cleaning is more than just a cosmetic procedure—it’s vital for their health. Here’s why:

• Prevents plaque and tartar build-up: Plaque can harden into tartar, leading to painful gum disease.
• Reduces risk of infections: Untreated dental issues can cause bacteria to enter the bloodstream, affecting major organs.
• Improves overall health: A healthy mouth supports better heart and kidney function.
• Improves quality of life: Tooth pain is relentless. Identifying a diseased tooth and removing the source of pain can instantly improve your pet’s quality of life
• Avoids expensive treatments: Preventive care is always more affordable than advanced treatments for severe dental issues.

Taking proactive steps in maintaining your dog’s oral hygiene can save them from discomfort and long-term health complications.

Signs Your Dog Needs Dental Cleaning

If you notice any of these signs, it may be time to schedule a dog dental cleaning appointment:

• Persistent bad breath: Unpleasant breath is often a sign of bacterial overgrowth.
• Yellow or brown tartar build-up: Visible tartar along the gum line can lead to serious dental diseases.
• Red, swollen, or bleeding gums: Inflammation or bleeding is a key indicator of periodontal disease.
• Difficulty chewing or loss of appetite: If your dog avoids hard food or chews only on one side, they could be experiencing pain.
• Excessive drooling or pawing at the mouth: Discomfort in the mouth can lead to increased salivation and irritation.

If you notice these symptoms, don’t delay—visit vet Balmain to ensure your pet receives the best dental care.

Our Professional Dog Dental Cleaning Process

At Balmain Veterinary Hospital, we follow a safe and effective dental cleaning procedure tailored to your dog’s needs:

1. Initial Dental Exam

Our experienced veterinarians will thoroughly assess your dog’s oral health, checking for signs of gum disease, infections, or decay.

2. Safe Anaesthesia

For a stress-free experience, we use safe anaesthesia to ensure your dog remains comfortable during the procedure.

3. Ultrasonic Scaling

We use advanced ultrasonic scalers to remove plaque and tartar buildup, including areas beneath the gumline that can be hard to reach.

4. Polishing & Fluoride Treatment

After scaling, we polish the teeth to smoothen the enamel, reducing future plaque accumulation. A fluoride treatment is also applied to strengthen the teeth and prevent cavities.

5. Post-Cleaning Care & At-Home Maintenance

Once the cleaning is complete, we provide detailed aftercare instructions to help you maintain your dog’s dental health at home.
