Did you know that by the time they reach age three, over 80% of dogs and 70% of cats are showing signs of dental disease?
Like humans, maintaining your pet's dental health is crucial to their overall well-being. Without regular dental assessments, professional cleaning and homecare such as tooth brushing, their teeth can lose their shine and become a source of bad breath and hidden pain. And since pets are experts at masking discomfort, you might not notice any problems until they have become severe.
That’s where we come in, we’re passionate about keeping keeping your fur friends in tip top shape and love seeing their smiles every day. Our expert healthcare team is here to guide you on how to maintain your pets healthy, happy smile for years to come.
Let's get started! Learn more about dental health below.

Let's start with a clean slate
Whether your fur friend has a dental homecare routine or isn't keen, they'll benefit from regular professional dental cleaning. During a dental procedure, your Petfirst healthcare team can:
- Fully examine each tooth, including below the gumline
- Chart each tooth, to keep a tooth-by-tooth record that can be built on over time
- Take dental x-rays to detect hidden issues
- Remove plaque and tartar that brushing can’t reach
- Polish teeth to help prevent future build-up
- Address problem teeth before they cause pain or infection
Not perfect?
No problem!
Brushing your pet's teeth every day sounds great in theory, but in real life? Not always easy. But here's the great news: you don't have to be perfect to make a real difference.
The latest research found that even simple at-home care routines can significantly reduce plaque and improve gum health.
Even weekly brushing + daily water additive produced great results. Could you brush your fur friend's teeth just once a week? Yes!
