Tartar and plaque build-up on a dog's teeth does not just cause bad breath — it leads to gum disease and tooth loss if left untreated. Professional dental cleaning under anaesthetic is expensive and stressful for older dogs. This Ultrasonic Dental Cleaner uses the same vibration principle as human ultrasonic scalers to break up tartar on the tooth surface, removing the need for scraping. The kit includes the electric handpiece plus four stainless steel dental attachments — a mirror, two scaler probes and a hook — so you can check and clean all tooth surfaces at home. Available in White.

How to Use
-
Start slowly — let your dog sniff and investigate the device before you switch it on; build familiarity over several sessions before attempting a full clean
-
Use on dry teeth — apply the probe tip to visible tartar deposits on the tooth surface and work in small circular movements; the vibration loosens and flakes the tartar off
-
Follow with the mirror — use the dental mirror attachment to check the back surfaces of the rear molars where tartar accumulates most
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to use at home without training?
The device is designed for home use by pet owners. Work gently and only on visible tartar on the outer tooth surfaces — do not probe into the gum line. If your dog has severe tartar build-up, gum bleeding or signs of tooth pain, have a vet assess the teeth first before attempting home cleaning. This tool is for maintenance, not for treating existing dental infections or loose teeth.
How do I get my dog to accept teeth cleaning?
Conditioning takes time. Start by touching your dog's muzzle and lips daily as part of a stroke or grooming session, offering a treat after each session. Progress to gently lifting the lips and touching the teeth with a finger. Only introduce the device once they accept finger contact without resistance. Pair every session with a high-value treat immediately after. Most dogs accept regular cleaning within 2–3 weeks of this approach.
How often should I clean my dog's teeth?
Weekly cleaning prevents tartar from hardening into calculus. Daily cleaning is ideal if your dog tolerates it, particularly for smaller breeds who are more prone to dental disease. If your dog already has significant visible tartar build-up, you may need several sessions over a few weeks to remove it fully before settling into a maintenance routine.
How do I clean the metal attachments?
Rinse the stainless steel attachments under hot running water after each use and wipe with an antiseptic pet-safe wipe or diluted hydrogen peroxide solution. Allow to dry fully before storing. Do not put the electric handpiece in water — wipe the body with a damp cloth only and keep the charging port dry.
