Healthy teeth are an important part of your pet’s overall wellness. Most pets develop dental disease by age three, making routine pet dental care essential. At Petfolk, we provide anesthetized dental cleanings, digital dental X-rays, and thorough oral exams to detect and treat issues early. Our care team also creates personalized home-care plans with clear next steps to keep your pet’s mouth clean and pain-free between visits.
Our Dental Care Services
Petfolk’s dental services are designed to keep your pet’s mouth healthy, comfortable, and free from disease. Using advanced tools and gentle techniques, we ensure each visit is safe, effective, and stress-free.
Our services include:
Comprehensive oral exams – Checking for tartar, gum disease, fractures, and infection.
Anesthetized dental cleanings – Professional scaling and polishing to remove plaque and tartar above and below the gum line.
Dental X-rays – Identifying hidden problems such as tooth root abscesses, bone loss, or resorptive lesions.
Periodontal therapy – Treating inflammation and early gum disease.
Extractions (when necessary) – Removing damaged or infected teeth safely.
Pain management – Using local anesthesia and medications for comfort before, during, and after the procedure.
Aftercare and home-care guidance – Detailed recovery instructions and brushing recommendations to maintain dental health.
Your care team will explain every step of your pet’s dental procedure and provide ongoing support through the Petfolk app for easy access to aftercare information and reminders.
Preventive Dental Care for Pets
Prevention is the key to a lifetime of good dental health. Petfolk helps families stay ahead of problems through regular oral exams and early detection of tartar, gingivitis, and gum disease.
During your pet’s annual or semi-annual checkups, our veterinarians examine the mouth, teeth, and gums for signs of pain, infection, and dental disease. We also provide personalized recommendations for home care—including brushing tips, dental chews, and diet suggestions—to reduce plaque buildup between visits.
With consistent visits to pet dental care near you, you can prevent painful conditions, avoid tooth loss, and help your pet maintain fresh breath and overall dental health.
Signs Your Pet May Need Dental Treatment
If you notice any of the following signs, it may be time to schedule a dental exam:
Bad breath that doesn’t go away
Tartar buildup on the teeth or gum line
Red or bleeding gums
Drooling or pawing at the mouth
Dropping food while eating
Facial swelling or sensitivity around the muzzle
Behavior changes, such as irritability or reluctance to eat hard food
Addressing these signs early helps prevent more serious dental disease and discomfort for your pet.
What to Expect at Your Dental Procedure Visit
Your pet’s dental procedure is designed to be safe, thorough, and transparent from start to finish.
Booking: You can schedule a dental evaluation through the Petfolk app or by phone. The actual dental cleaning, which requires anesthesia, will be scheduled by your care team after the evaluation.
Pre-anesthetic exam: Before the cleaning, your veterinarian will perform a physical exam and will recommend laboratory work to confirm your pet is healthy enough for anesthesia.
Preparation: Fasting instructions and pre-procedure details are reviewed during the dental evaluation and sent to you the day before the anesthetic procedure, so you know exactly how to prepare.
Procedure: Under anesthesia, your pet receives a professional cleaning, polishing, and digital X-rays.
Recovery: All pets go home the same day after careful monitoring.
Discharge: You’ll receive aftercare instructions and pain management guidance, both in person and through the Petfolk app.
Recheck: A follow-up may be scheduled to ensure proper healing and continued oral health.
