Oral hygiene

Dogs have an impressive set of teeth, which are equally suitable for grasping and holding as well as for tearing and cutting individual pieces of meat. For this reason, the set of teeth of the dog is vital to survival, even if the domesticated dog is no longer in need for hunting for food.

However, dental problems are very common in animals and it is estimated that by the time a dog is 2 years old, 80% begin to show signs of oral disease. Even attentive pet owners often miss the fact that the dog suffers from painful oral diseases and animals cannot communicate when they are plagued by severe toothache. Therefore preventative care is a must.

The dental care of the dog should be as important to you as your own. A scheduled dental care is the best to keep dog teeth healthy. It is important to start, preferable as a puppy, with an animal-friendly care before the dog suffers from dental problems.

Ultrasound Teeth Cleaning: How it works

Emmi-pet ultrasound is a worldwide patented dental and oral hygiene system. Thanks to 96 million air vibrations per minute instead of scrubbing and brushing, it cleans your dog's teeth very gently and softly. It's also completely silent, vibrationless and the least stressful method, so your dog will enjoy the dental care.

Emmi-Pet teeth cleaning uses non-invasive ultrasound waves to reach deep below the gum line to kill germs and bacteria; it cleans the teeth and gums to prevent the build-up of plaque and tartar.

At the same time, it increases the blood flow to the gums to heal wounds and stop bleeding. It reduces the necessity for dogs to go under anaesthetic for a full dental descale and keeps their teeth healthy.

The Emmi-Pet Teeth Cleaning System effectively combats:

• Gingivitis and periodontitis
• Oral cavity diseases
• Plaque and tartar build up
• Bad breath
• Staining

Ultrasonic tooth brushing with benefit your pet's general health, as unhealthy teeth and gums affect the whole body. Healthy teeth and gums mean less bacteria and good oral hygiene.

First session is priced at £35, then each subsequent session is £20 (so long as there is a maximum of four months between sessions).
