At
Waggin' Tails Grooming, we believe that a healthy mouth is essential for your dog’s overall health and well-being. Just like humans, dogs can develop dental problems that lead to discomfort, bad breath, and even more serious health issues. Regular dental cleaning is crucial for maintaining healthy teeth and gums, preventing dental diseases, and promoting a long, healthy life for your pet. Located in Schenectady, NY, our professional dog dental cleaning services are designed to help your dog achieve and maintain optimal oral health.
When you bring your dog in for a dental cleaning at Waggin' Tails Grooming, we begin with a consultation to assess the condition of their teeth and gums. During this examination, we will look for signs of plaque, tartar buildup, gum disease, or any other issues that may need special attention. If we notice any serious concerns, we may recommend a visit to your veterinarian for further evaluation.
Our experienced groomers use professional-grade tools to carefully clean your dog’s teeth and gums. The process includes scaling, where we use a special tool to remove tartar and plaque from the surface of the teeth. This step is essential in preventing further buildup and ensuring that your dog’s teeth are thoroughly cleaned. We take care to avoid causing any discomfort or harm during this procedure, as your dog’s comfort is our priority.
After the scaling process, we polish your dog’s teeth to remove any remaining plaque and to smooth the surface of their teeth. Polishing helps make it more difficult for plaque to build up in the future, keeping your dog’s teeth cleaner for a longer period. It also leaves your dog’s teeth looking shiny and healthy.
Once the cleaning is complete, we conduct a final check to ensure all teeth have been properly cleaned and that there is no remaining tartar or plaque. We will then provide you with tips on maintaining your dog’s oral health at home, including advice on brushing techniques and recommended oral care products. This will help you keep your dog’s teeth healthy between professional cleanings.
If you observe any of these signs, it’s important to act quickly to prevent the problem from worsening.
At-home care plays an important role in maintaining your dog’s oral health. Brushing your dog’s teeth regularly helps prevent plaque buildup and keeps their mouth fresh. Use a toothbrush and toothpaste specifically designed for dogs to make the process easier and safer for your pet. We can demonstrate the best techniques for brushing your dog’s teeth during your visit.
In addition to brushing, you can help maintain your dog’s oral health by providing dental chews and toys. These products are designed to reduce plaque and tartar while promoting healthy chewing habits. They also provide a fun and engaging way to care for your dog’s teeth between cleanings.
Keep an eye on your dog’s oral health by checking their mouth regularly for signs of dental issues, such as swelling, bleeding, or abnormal odor. The earlier you spot a problem, the easier it is to address it and maintain your dog’s oral health.
