Importance Of Pet Dental Care
Dental disease is one of the most common conditions to affect our furry friends. It is painful and can lead to many life-threatening issues, affecting the heart, kidneys and liver. Regular cat dental care and dog teeth cleaning will help remove plaque and tartar buildup, reducing and preventing the occurrence of periodontal disease and infection. Healthy teeth and gums will help your pet to enjoy their food and active lifestyle comfortably.
Signs Of Dental Problems
Signs of dental disease in pets often develop gradually. Common symptoms include bad breath, staining of teeth in a yellowish or brown colour, and red, swollen gums that may bleed. Signs such as a change in your pet’s eating habits (difficulty chewing or dropping food), additional drooling, an avoidance of the mouth or increased pawing around the mouth are indicators.
Pet Dental Services Offered
We offer a full range of veterinary dental services. These examinations will help us identify any current or potential concerns. The essential part of any veterinary dental treatment is the cleaning and polishing of your pet’s teeth, where we will remove plaque build-up. Additional services that we offer include the performance of dental X-rays. Where necessary, we will extract unhealthy teeth and perform other complex treatments, such as those for periodontal disease and retained or impacted teeth, as well as surgery.
Home Care Tips To Prevent Pet Dental Problems
Regular home maintenance is very important and will assist greatly with your pet’s overall dental health. Regular teeth cleaning with a pet-specific toothpaste, dental chews and toys can also help with teeth cleaning. A balanced diet will also benefit your pet’s teeth and gums. The regularity of check-ups is crucial, and it is recommended for most animals to have their teeth examined once every six to twelve months.

FAQ
How often should my pet have a dental check-up?
Current scientific research does not support this idea, and the best advice we can give is that early pet desexing should be performed when a litter is not planned.
Is professional teeth cleaning safe for pets?
Yes. Anaesthesia is carefully monitored throughout the procedure, and all treatments are carried out in a sterile clinical environment.
What are the costs of dental services?
The cost of dental services can vary depending on your pet’s size, condition, and the treatment required.
