Pet Dental Care & Veterinary Dentistry in Dubai.

What professional pet dental care means

Dental care is far more than freshening breath. It is a complete assessment and treatment of the mouth, from the visible crowns of the teeth down to the roots and bone hidden beneath the gumline. Plaque hardens into tartar within days, and once it sits below the gum it drives inflammation, infection, and gradual loss of the structures that hold each tooth in place. A professional clean under anaesthesia is the only way to address disease where it actually begins.

Because pets are so good at masking discomfort, the mouth is one of the easiest places for problems to go unnoticed. A pet can have painful teeth and keep eating normally, so many owners are surprised by what a full oral examination reveals. Our aim is simple: to find issues early, treat them properly, and give you a clear plan to keep the mouth healthy between visits.

What our pet dental service includes

Every dental cleaning at Paw Sisters follows a structured clinical protocol designed for safety and thoroughness:

• Comprehensive oral examination: we assess the teeth and gums and check for periodontal disease, tooth resorption, fractured teeth, and oral masses, with dental X-rays where needed to reveal problems below the gumline
• Tartar and plaque removal: professional ultrasonic scalers and hand instruments remove tartar and plaque from every surface, including below the gumline where bad breath and gum disease begin
• Scaling under safe anaesthesia: all cleanings are performed under general anaesthesia with real-time monitoring, for a thorough, pain-free clean above and below the gumline
• Long-lasting polishing: every tooth is polished after scaling with a veterinary-grade paste, smoothing the surface so plaque takes longer to reattach
• A detailed written report: you receive a report on the condition of every tooth, treatments performed, and specific at-home care guidance, including how to start a brushing routine

Why dental health matters for pets

Dental disease is the most common condition seen in pets over three years old. Left untreated, bacteria from the mouth enter the bloodstream and can damage the kidneys, liver, and heart. Most pets show no obvious signs of tooth pain and continue eating even with significant disease, so regular professional cleanings are the most effective way to prevent long-term complications.

Your pet’s journey to a healthy smile

Every dental appointment at Paw Sisters follows a safe, structured process:

• Examination and X-rays: a full oral examination, including dental X-rays where indicated to reveal root fractures, bone loss, and sub-gingival problems invisible to the naked eye
• Scaling under anaesthesia: the only clinically accepted way to clean below the gumline, with heart rate, oxygen saturation, and body temperature monitored continuously
• Polishing: the smooth surface left by professional polishing slows plaque reattachment, keeping your pet’s teeth cleaner for longer between appointments
• Written dental report: a detailed report documenting the condition of each tooth, any concerns, treatments carried out, and your personalised home-care plan

Dental care for cats and dogs

Cats and dogs develop different dental problems, so we tailor the examination to each. Cats are prone to painful tooth resorption, where the tooth structure breaks down at or below the gumline, and to gingivostomatitis, a severe inflammation of the mouth. These conditions are easy to miss because cats rarely stop eating, so we look carefully for subtle signs during every clean.

Dogs, particularly small and toy breeds, tend to accumulate tartar quickly and are more likely to have crowded teeth that trap plaque and food. Larger and chew-loving dogs are more likely to fracture teeth on hard toys or bones. In both cats and dogs, dental X-rays are often the only way to reveal what is happening at the roots, which is why we take them where indicated rather than relying on the visible surfaces alone.

Home care between professional cleans

A professional clean resets the mouth; daily home care keeps it healthy. The single most effective step is regular tooth brushing with a pet-safe toothpaste, and we will show you how to introduce it gradually so it becomes a calm routine rather than a struggle.

• Daily brushing: the gold standard for slowing plaque, introduced slowly with pet-safe toothpaste never human toothpaste
• Dental diets and chews: veterinary-approved dental diets, chews, and toys can help reduce buildup between cleans, used alongside brushing rather than instead of it
• Watch for warning signs: bad breath, drooling, pawing at the mouth, bleeding gums, or chewing on one side are all reasons to book a check
• Regular oral checks: lifting the lip to look at the back teeth once a week helps you notice tartar or redness before it becomes painful
