Keeping your dog’s teeth clean isn’t just about fresh breath — it’s about supporting long-term comfort and wellbeing.
At Bark & Bloom, we offer a calm, non-invasive ultrasonic teeth cleaning service designed to help reduce plaque build-up and maintain cleaner-looking teeth.
Gentle Dental Care
How It Works
We use a specialist ultrasonic toothbrush that works with water and high-frequency sound waves to help loosen surface plaque on the visible areas of the teeth.
- No scrubbing, no noise and no vibrations
- Preventative against tartar and bad breath
- Reduction of bacteria in the mouth
- Removal of biofilm and deposits
- Designed for relaxed, cooperative dogs
Where appropriate, we use soft rosewood sticks to assist with the removal of softened surface plaque.
Why It Matters
Plaque forms on dogs’ teeth every day. If left unmanaged, it can harden into tartar and may contribute to gum
inflammation and periodontal disease over time.
Many dogs receive little dental care when they are young, which can lead to heavier buildup later in life. In some
cases, this may require professional veterinary dental treatment under general anaesthesia.
Starting a preventative routine early helps support:
- Prevention of gum disease
- Fresher breath
- Reduced build-up of plaque
Investing in your dog’s dental health will pay off with improved well-being and a longer lifespan. Additionally, good oral hygiene can also prevent the occurrence of secondary diseases.
Dental Pain
Dogs do not show pain in the same way as humans do. They don’t whine when they ache or their gums hurt. They often still eat food, but maybe at a slower rate than normal, leaving hard chews untouched. They sometimes restlessly rub their paws against their muzzles. These are all small, subtle signs that can easily get overlooked.
Our Service
Free Initial Consultation
Book a free consultation so we can gently assess your dog’s teeth and overall suitability for the Emmi-pet ultrasonic brush.
This allows us to:
- Check that your dog is comfortable with handling.
- Assess plaque build-up.
- Discuss your dog’s current dental routine.
- Advise whether the service is appropriate.
If we notice anything that may require veterinary attention, we will always recommend seeking their advice before taking any action.
Hygiene
For hygiene reasons, each dog requires their own personal toothbrush head.
- £8 one-time charge (Stored safely at the salon for your dog’s future visits)
Initial Cleaning
- £20 per weekly session
We begin with weekly sessions to help gradually reduce visible plaque build-up.
Plaque can harden quickly if left too long between appointments. Starting with weekly visits allows us to:
- Work progressively and gently.
- Soften the plaque and remove it before it hardens again.
- Achieve consistent, manageable results.
Every dog is different. The number of sessions needed depends on:
- The level of build-up of plaque
- Your dog’s tolerance and behaviour
- Your home-care routine
Once the plaque has reduced to a maintenance level, we move to ongoing care.
Ongoing Care
- £10-£20 per session
After the initial phase, we typically recommend visits every 4-8 weeks, depending on how quickly plaque returns and the level of home care provided.
Some dogs may go longer between appointments, while others benefit from more regular maintenance.

Additional Info
Dental Care at Home
The more consistent your dog’s home routine, the easier it is to maintain cleaner teeth.
Daily brushing with dog-safe toothpaste is the most effective home-care method. Some owners also use additional products such as:
- PlaqueOff® (by Swedencare) – a seaweed-based powder added to food to support oral hygiene.
- Orozyme® Gel (by Virbac) – a veterinary oral gel used regularly to support oral cleanliness.
Service Limitations
- This service focuses solely on visible tooth surfaces.
- It is not a substitute for veterinary dental care.
As dog grooming professionals, we are unable to diagnose dental health conditions. We therefore recommend seeking veterinary advice before booking if your dog has:
- Red or bleeding gums
- Loose or broken teeth
- Significant tartar build-up
- Signs of pain or difficulty eating
Or if you have any other dental concerns.
