Plaque Removal for a Healthier, Happier Dog
Does your dog have bad breath or yellow teeth? That could be a sign of plaque buildup – and it’s more than just a stinky problem. At Pusat Veterinar Healing Pets, we offer professional plaque removal to keep your dog’s mouth clean and their tail wagging!
Plaque is a soft, sticky film made of bacteria, food particles, and saliva that forms on your dog’s teeth every day. If not cleaned, it hardens into tartar, which can lead to:
Gum disease (gingivitis)
Painful infections
Tooth loss
Bad breath
Even heart or kidney problems if bacteria enter the bloodstream
Bad breath that doesn’t go away
Yellow or brown buildup on teeth
Red, swollen gums
Drooling more than usual
Trouble chewing or dropping food
Pawing at the mouth
Our professional dental cleaning is done safely under anesthesia, so your dog stays comfortable and still while we:
Examine the mouth – checking for loose teeth or gum disease
Scale the teeth – removing plaque and tartar above and below the gumline
Polish the teeth – to smooth the surface and slow down future buildup
Take dental x-rays – if needed, to check for hidden issues
Your dog wakes up with a fresh, clean mouth – and often more energy too!
To keep your dog’s smile shining between cleanings:
Brush their teeth daily with pet-safe toothpaste
Use dental chews or toys that help reduce plaque
Add dental water additives to their bowl
Feed a vet-recommended dental diet
Dental health is more than cosmetic – it’s essential to your dog’s overall well-being. Regular plaque removal can help prevent serious health problems and save on future vet bills.
