The Top Ten Reasons for having your Dogs teeth cleaned

1. 1. Prevents Gum Disease: Regular cleaning helps to remove plaque and tartar, reducing the risk of gingivitis and periodontal disease.
   2. Eliminates Bad Breath: Cleaning removes bacteria and food particles that cause bad breath, leaving your dog’s mouth fresh.
   3. Maintains Healthy Teeth: Regular cleaning helps to keep teeth strong and less prone to breakage or decay.
   4. Prevents Tooth Loss: By maintaining healthy gums and teeth, cleaning reduces the likelihood of teeth loosening and falling out.
   5. Improves Overall Health: Good oral hygiene can prevent bacteria from entering the bloodstream, which can impact organs like the heart and kidneys.
   6. Reduces Pain: Prevents the pain associated with tooth decay, infections, and gum disease.
   7. Prevents Oral Infections: Regular cleaning can catch issues early before they become painful infections.
   8. Promotes Better Eating Habits: Healthy teeth and gums allow dogs to eat comfortably, ensuring they get the nutrition they need.
   9. Improves Overall Wellbeing: Regular cleaning leads to a happier, more active dog as they aren’t dealing with oral pain or discomfort.
   10. Saves Money Long Term: Preventative care like regular teeth cleaning can reduce the need for costly veterinary dental treat

There have been several reasons why we have taken a while to bring this service to the salon. When the ultrasonic toothbrushes were first launched, some understanding of the marketing was ambiguous, especially around claims of not having to pay for vet treatment. 

Cleaning Dogs teeth is very much like cleaning our own, in that it doesn’t negate  the need for dental check ups. There are still procedures that need to be carried out by a vet in the same way we would expect a dentist to carry out services for us.

There was also a concern that as Dog grooming relies on self regulation, we wanted to do the utmost in the way of training to ensure this service was carried out correctly and not breaching any legislation. It is not a legal requirement at present to offer this service without training or qualification . Not something we are happy with so an investment was made in gaining the IPEt Level 3 Award in Canine Oral Hygiene.
