Canine Dental Scaling

Eighty-five percent of all pets have periodontal disease by the time they are 3 years of age.

**Dental disease can result in bad breath, aka (death breath) painful chewing, and tooth loss.

**Bacteria under the gum can travel to the heart, kidneys, and liver, causing organ failure.

**Dental scaling is required to remove plaque and tartar from a pet’s teeth.

I do an initial assessment first. (Unfortunately, by the time many owners inquire about dental scaling, their dogs' teeth and gums are in such poor condition that scaling won't help, at which point I then recommend a vet for extraction etc.) However, if this is not the case upon assessment, I do offer an affordable dental scaling service that does not require anesthetic.

Regular at-home dental care can help improve the health of your pet’s mouth and lengthen the intervals between professional dental cleanings as well as reduce the cost of scaling in the long run.

It’s estimated that 85 percent of all pets have periodontal disease by the time they are 3 years of age. Periodontal disease is a progressive disease of the supporting tissues surrounding teeth and the main cause of early tooth loss.

Periodontal disease starts when bacteria combine with food particles to form plaque on the teeth. Within days, minerals in the saliva bond with the plaque to form tartar, a hard substance that adheres to the teeth. The bacteria work their way under the gums and cause gingivitis — inflammation of the gums. Once under the gums, bacteria destroy the supporting tissue around the tooth, leading to tooth loss. This condition is known as periodontitis. Gingivitis and periodontitis make up the changes that are referred to as periodontal disease. The bacteria associated with periodontal disease can also travel in the bloodstream to infect the heart, kidneys, and liver.

A professional dental cleaning is the only way to remove tartar from the teeth and under the gum tissue to protect your pet’s health. With a professional dental cleaning and follow-up care, gingivitis is reversible. However, periodontal disease is not reversible; but diligent at-home dental care and regular professional cleanings can slow down the progression of the condition.

Disclaimer: I offer a cosmetic dental scaling service only. I am not a veterinarian or dentist and although my customers have been very happy with my work I must make it clear that my services are not intended to diagnose, or correct defects, diseases, injuries, or any other conditions. My service is not intended to be used in place of your veterinarian as your vet can offer more in-depth dental care and a thorough examination of your dogs’ mouth including x-rays, extractions, and diagnoses’.

This is a dog (on the left) whos teeth I scaled. These are untouched photos. (The after picture looks brighter only because my head lamp was shining on it as it is easier to see inperfections with the brighter light).
