We recommend a pre-anaesthetic consultation ($25) prior to the dental procedure.

The Importance of Dental Scaling for Dogs & Cats
Why regular dental care is essential for your pet's health
Removes Tartar & Plaque
Just like humans, dogs can get plaque and tartar on their teeth. Food scraps and bacteria combine to generate this tartar and plaque. Dental scaling removes buildup and eliminates foul odour.
Prevents Tooth Decay
Inflammation of the gums brought on by bacteria is known as gingivitis and can also occur in dogs. As the bacteria proliferate, they infect the gum tissue surrounding the teeth, leading to periodontal disease and ultimately tooth loss.
Healthier Gums
Regular brushing of your pet's teeth and dental treats are the greatest ways to avoid dental disease. Additionally important is routine dental cleaning, often known as dental scaling for dogs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pet Dental Scaling
Common questions about dental scaling in Singapore
We recommend annual dental scaling for most dogs and cats to maintain optimal oral health. However, some pets may require more frequent cleanings depending on their breed, age, diet, and oral hygiene routine. Small breed dogs and cats are particularly prone to dental disease and may benefit from cleanings every 6-12 months.
Unlike humans, pets cannot understand the need to stay still during dental procedures. Anaesthesia is essential to ensure your pet's safety and comfort while we thoroughly clean beneath the gumline, where periodontal disease begins. It also allows us to perform a complete oral examination and take dental X-rays if needed to detect hidden problems.
Yes, with proper pre-anaesthetic assessment. Before any dental procedure, we perform blood tests to evaluate your pet's organ function and overall health. This helps us identify any risks and tailor the anaesthesia protocol accordingly. Modern anaesthesia monitoring makes dental procedures safe even for senior pets, and the benefits of treating painful dental disease far outweigh the minimal risks.
First, your pet will be given a pre-anaesthetic consultation to ensure they are healthy for the procedure. On the day of the dental scaling, we will administer anaesthesia and carefully monitor your pet throughout. We then use the IM3 GS Deluxe ultrasonic scaler to remove plaque and tartar from both above and below the gumline, followed by polishing to smooth the tooth surfaces. Any damaged or infected teeth will be extracted if necessary. The entire procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes.
After dental scaling, we recommend starting a home dental care routine to maintain clean teeth. This includes daily tooth brushing with pet-safe toothpaste, dental chews, and feeding dental diet if appropriate. We'll provide detailed instructions on home care and recommend products suitable for your pet. Your pet may need soft food for a few days if extractions were performed, and we'll prescribe antibiotics and pain relief as needed.
Common signs include bad breath, yellow or brown tartar buildup on teeth, red or swollen gums, difficulty eating or dropping food, pawing at the mouth, and excessive drooling. If you notice any of these symptoms, it's time to schedule a dental examination. Regular check-ups help us catch dental problems early before they become painful or lead to tooth loss.
