Professional dental cleanings, treatments, and ongoing care plans to keep your pet's teeth and gums in optimal condition. Because every smile deserves attention.
Dental disease is one of the most common health issues in pets. Early prevention and regular care can prevent serious complications.
Bacteria from dental disease can enter the bloodstream, affecting the heart, liver, and kidneys. Regular care prevents these serious complications.
Pain-free teeth mean your pet can eat, play, and enjoy life fully. Dental pain often goes unnoticed until it becomes severe.
Preventative care is far more affordable than emergency extractions or treating advanced periodontal disease. Invest early, save later.
Persistent halitosis is often a sign of underlying dental issues. Professional cleaning restores fresh breath and healthy gums.

Dental pain is often subtle in pets. If you notice any of these signs, it's time to schedule a dental examination.
Persistent foul odor from the mouth is often the first sign of dental disease, plaque buildup, or infection.
Dropping food, chewing on one side, or sudden loss of appetite can indicate painful teeth or gum disease.
Healthy gums are pink and firm. Redness, swelling, or bleeding indicates gingivitis or periodontal disease.
Your pet frequently touching or rubbing their face may be trying to relieve dental pain or discomfort.
Tartar buildup appears as yellow or brown deposits on teeth and is a sign that professional cleaning is needed.
Changes in behavior, reluctance to play, or sensitivity around the face could signal underlying dental pain.
Professional cleanings are essential, but daily home care is what truly keeps your pet's teeth healthy between visits.
Use a pet-specific toothbrush and toothpaste. Start slowly and reward your pet to make brushing a positive experience.
VOHC-approved dental chews and treats help reduce plaque and tartar buildup while satisfying your pet's chewing instincts.
Add veterinary-formulated water additives to your pet's drinking bowl to help reduce bacteria and freshen breath.
Specialized dental diets with kibble designed to scrub teeth during chewing can significantly reduce plaque accumulation.
Gently inspect your pet's gums and teeth weekly. Look for redness, swelling, broken teeth, or unusual discharge.
Even with great home care, professional cleanings at least once a year are essential for complete oral health.

Most dogs and cats benefit from a professional dental cleaning once a year. However, some breeds prone to dental issues (like small dogs and Persian cats) may need cleanings every 6 months. Your Paws Source veterinarian will recommend a personalized schedule based on your pet's oral health, age, and breed.
Yes. We use the latest anesthesia protocols with pre-anesthetic bloodwork to ensure your pet is a good candidate. Throughout the procedure, your pet is continuously monitored by a dedicated anesthesia technician. The benefits of a thorough cleaning under anesthesia far outweigh the minimal risks involved.
Home care is essential but cannot replace professional cleanings. Brushing and dental treats help control plaque on visible surfaces, but roughly 60% of each tooth is below the gumline where tartar and disease develop unnoticed. Professional cleanings with X-rays are the only way to address these hidden areas effectively.
We recommend starting dental evaluations as early as 6 months of age. Early visits help establish a dental health baseline, identify any developmental issues, and get your pet accustomed to having their mouth examined. Prevention is always easier and more affordable than treating advanced disease later.
After pre-anesthetic testing, your pet receives safe anesthesia. We then perform ultrasonic scaling to remove tartar above and below the gumline, followed by polishing to smooth tooth surfaces and fluoride treatment. Dental X-rays are taken to assess each tooth's root health. Your vet will then create a detailed report of your pet's oral health.
Our dental check-up starts at $99, a complete cleaning at $349, and our annual dental plan at $79/month. Prices vary based on your pet's size and specific needs. We offer flexible payment plans and accept pet insurance. Contact us for a personalized quote — transparent pricing with no hidden fees.
