Dog Teeth Cleaning: Why It Matters and How London Owners Can Keep Their Pets Healthy
Introduction
Dog breath isn’t just a minor inconvenience; it’s often a sign of something more serious. Over time, plaque and tartar can lead to gum disease, tooth loss, and painful infections. Yet many owners are unsure where to turn for safe, professional dental care.

Why Dog Teeth Cleaning Is So Important
Dental Health Affects More Than Breath
Poor dental hygiene can lead to infections that affect your dog’s heart, kidneys, and overall wellbeing. Clean teeth aren’t just cosmetic - they’re essential for health and happiness.
The Hidden Dangers of Plaque
Plaque hardens into tartar, pushing bacteria below the gumline. This causes inflammation, bleeding, and pain - often long before you notice visible signs.
Prevention Saves Money (and Stress)
Regular ultrasonic cleaning costs far less than vet dental surgery and spares your pet from anaesthesia risks.
The Posh Paws Approach to Dog Teeth Cleaning in London
Gentle, Non-Anaesthetic Technique
We use a vibration-free ultrasonic toothbrush designed for pets. It removes bacteria and plaque quietly; even dogs sensitive to sound or touch tolerate it easily.
Certified, Caring Professionals
Our team is trained in canine behaviour and oral care, ensuring a calm, reassuring session that never feels clinical or rushed.
Tailored for Each Dog
From tiny terriers to large retrievers, we adjust each cleaning session to your dog’s comfort level, temperament, and dental condition.
Signs Your Dog Needs a Dental Cleaning
Bad Breath That Doesn’t Go Away
Persistent odour is the first red flag of plaque buildup or gum disease.
Yellow or Brown Teeth
Visible tartar, especially along the gumline, means bacteria have already set in.
Drooling or Avoiding Hard Food
These behaviours can indicate pain or loose teeth - both urgent reasons for professional attention.
Keeping Your Dog’s Teeth Clean at Home
Brush Regularly (Yes, Really!)
Daily brushing with dog-safe toothpaste slows plaque buildup. Start early with puppies to make it routine.
Choose Dental Chews Wisely
Look for vet-approved dental treats that help scrape plaque - but avoid overreliance on them.
Schedule Routine Cleanings
Pair home care with professional ultrasonic cleaning every few months to maintain oral health and fresh breath.
Conclusion
Healthy teeth mean a happier, more confident dog and fewer vet bills down the road. At Posh Paws Grooming Salon, we make dental care gentle, affordable, and fear-free.
