Pet Dental Care
Maintaining your pet's oral health is crucial for their overall well-being.
Dental issues can lead to pain, infection, and even affect vital organs if left untreated.
Regular dental care helps prevent these problems and ensures your pet stays healthy and happy.
Routine Dental Check-Ups
We recommend bringing your pet in for a dental check-up every six months.
Routine dental check-ups catch and address potential issues early on, preventing more serious problems down the line.
Signs of dental disease
Dental disease can cause bad breath, red or swollen gums, yellow tartar, difficulty eating, sneezing and drooling. However, pet parents do not always notice these signs, so regular check ups are pivotal.
Treatment for dental disease
We always recommend that dental procedures be performed under general anaesthesia rather than being anaesthetic-free to ensure the safety and comfort of your pet.
General anaesthesia ensure that your pet is pain and fear free. It also allows our veterinarians to more thoroughly examine the mouth, take dental x-rays and perform a deep clean below the gum.
Common Dental Issues
Common dental issues in dogs and cats can lead to significant discomfort and health problems if left untreated. Understanding these issues is crucial for maintaining your pet's overall well-being for a pain-free life.
Gingivitis
Inflammation of the gums caused by plaque buildup, leading to redness, swelling, and bleeding.
Tooth Fractures
Broken or cracked teeth caused by chewing on hard objects, leading to pain and infection.
Periodontal Disease
Advanced gum disease affecting the tissues and bone supporting the teeth, often resulting in tooth loss.
Malocclusions
Misalignment of teeth causing difficulty in chewing and potential injury to the mouth.
Tartar & Plaque
Accumulation of plaque that hardens into tartar, causing gum irritation and bad breath.
Stomatitis
Severe inflammation of the mouth lining, often leading to difficulty eating and chronic pain.
