Anesthesia-Free Dog Dental Cleaning Process
At Happy Dog Baltimore, our trained dental technicians use gentle, hands-on techniques to safely remove plaque and tartar — all while keeping your pup calm, comfortable, and stress-free. Each session begins by placing your dog in a relaxed position, either on their back or side, depending on what feels best for them. Small dogs are often swaddled in a soft towel, creating a soothing, secure environment.
We use natural calming products and fear-free techniques to help ease any anxiety. The cleaning starts with a thorough oral exam and an oral rinse, followed by careful plaque and tartar removal. We finish with teeth polishing and a final rinse to leave your pup’s smile clean and fresh.
Our affordable, anesthesia-free dental cleanings offer a safe, sedation-free option for maintaining your dog’s dental health — ideal for pups of all ages, especially seniors or those with health concerns.
Oral & Medical Review by a Trained Technician
Each session begins with a thorough oral and medical examination by our trained technician. Every tooth is individually assessed and charted for mobility, fractures (such as chips or cracks), malocclusion (misalignment that may cause trauma to other teeth or soft tissue), and signs of periodontal disease.
Any existing dental issues are documented prior to cleaning. If we identify advanced dental concerns that require sedation or treatment beyond the scope of our service, we’ll refer you to your veterinarian for a full anesthetic dental procedure.
Oral Rinse
Before starting the cleaning, we use a 0.12% Chlorhexidine rinse to help reduce bacteria and promote a cleaner, healthier mouth.
Plaque & Calculus Removal
Using a hand-held scaler, we carefully remove plaque and calculus from your pup’s teeth and beneath the gum line. This anesthesia-free cleaning helps promote healing and encourages the gums to re-adhere to the tooth surface.
Polishing & Rinse
While we take great care during the scaling process of our anesthesia-free dental cleaning, minor micro-abrasions on the tooth surface can sometimes occur. Polishing helps smooth these imperfections and removes any remaining plaque. We finish with a final rinse using water and a chlorhexidine solution to ensure your pup’s mouth is thoroughly clean and fresh.
Anesthesia-Free Dog Dental Cleaning helps reduce the risk of bacterial infections like periodontal disease, which can lead to chronic pain, gum inflammation, and, in severe cases, bone loss and organ failure.
To protect your pet’s health, a deep dental cleaning is recommended every 6 to 12 months.
