You avoid dental adventures like the plaque, er, rather the plague.

But Spike and Princess Von Furball’s chompers could use a little special attention from Shane Fox. Better known as The Tooth Fairy, her in-home nontoxic teeth-cleaning service for dogs and cats is pleasant because it’s anesthesia free.

Fox arrives in scrubs and armed with dental scalers, a disposable toothbrush, a bright light, and a magic touch (she can win over even the crankiest creature with her whisperer-like ways). After befriending your four-legger, she finds a calm spot, puts on soothing tunes, and gets your pet comfy using one of your old, familiar towels. Then she goes to work removing plaque and tartar, and polishing the now pearly whites.

Sessions last twenty minutes to an hour, and before Fox goes on her way, she’ll report on tartar status, gum condition, recommend a date for the next visit, and show you what to do between appointments.

It’s just what the dentist ordered.
