Dog Dental Cleaning Service in Singapore

by Katherine Khoo January 29, 2026 4 min read

Maintaining your dog’s oral health is essential. It’s not just for fresh breath but for overall wellbeing. Dental disease is one of the most common health problems in dogs, with plaque, tartar and gum inflammation eventually leading to pain, tooth loss, and even systemic disease if untreated. Fortunately, routine care, both professional and at home, can significantly reduce the risk.

Professional Dental Cleaning

Professional dental cleaning involves a veterinarian thoroughly cleaning your dog’s teeth and gums, often under general anesthesia to allow safe and complete removal of plaque and tartar. These services also often include dental x-rays and extractions if required.

Prices can vary quite a bit with basic scaling and polishing at some clinics costing around S$100 to S$200, while more complete procedures (with anesthesia and x-rays) may run from S$400 to S$800 or more, depending on the dog’s age, size and condition of the teeth. Many vets will quote an initial consult fee, which is around S$40 to S$120, and then itemise dental procedure costs. Always ask for a detailed estimate before treatment, especially if your dog needs x-rays or extractions.

Here are veterinary clinics offering dental services for dogs. Most provide routine cleaning (scaling & polishing), oral assessments, x-rays, and necessary dental treatments. Please contact the clinics directly for specific dog dental services and pricing.

Home Dental Care for Dogs

Professional cleanings are important, but home care is essential for maintaining your dog’s oral health and delaying the need for intensive treatments.

Brushing

Daily brushing, if possible, with a pet-safe toothbrush and dog-specific toothpaste is the gold standard. Human toothpaste is not safe for dogs. Start slowly and let your dog taste the toothpaste first, then introduce the brush in short sessions. Aim for several times a week if daily brushing isn’t possible.

Dental Chews & Treats

Dental chews can help reduce plaque and tartar buildup through mechanical action. Look for products with Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC) seals, like this Whimzees Natural Daily Dental Dog Chews (Toothbrush) where possible.

Water Additives

Water Additives is best used alongside brushing. Simply add to your dog's drinking water. This is intended to reduce oral bacteria and freshen the breath.

Wipes

Dental wipes are helpful if brushing is difficult, though brushing remains more effective than wipes alone.

Routine Checks at Home

Weekly checks can help you spot early signs of disease. Checking inside your dog’s mouth regularly will help you catch problems early.

Signs of Oral Decay and Dental Disease

Dental disease often progresses quietly, so it’s important to look for both obvious and subtle signs that your dog’s mouth needs veterinary attention:

Common Signs

These signs can indicate periodontal disease, abscesses, tooth decay, or infection. Prompt vets checkups can prevent painful progression. Left untreated, dental issues can allow bacteria into the bloodstream, potentially affecting the heart, liver and kidneys.

Bad breath (persistent and foul smell)
Yellow or brown tartar on teeth
Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
Drooling more than usual
Difficulty eating or dropping food
Reluctance to chew toys Loose or missing teeth
Swelling around the muzzle or jaw
Pawing at the mouth
Changes in behaviour (irritability/withdrawal)

Final Tips for Dog Dental Health

Start dental care early. Puppies adapt quicker to brushing than adult dogs.
Pair home care with annual vet checkups to catch issues early.
Always use dog-safe dental products.
If your dog resists brushing, try dental chews, wipes, or water additives to supplement care.

Good oral health can not only prevent periodontal diseases from occurring but can also limit them, and in some cases, even reverse their progression. So, keeping your dog’s teeth clean and gums healthy pays off with fewer vet bills, and a happier pet. Annual veterinary checks are crucial to catch issues early, combined with a proactive home care routine will help ensure your dog keeps a healthy smile throughout life.
