🦷 Dental Health Month is here! 🐶🐱
Did you know that most dogs and cats over the age of 3 have some degree of dental disease?
Unfortunately, it's one of the most common health problems we see—and it often goes unnoticed because our pets are experts at hiding pain.
A professional dental scale and polish performed under a general anaesthetic allows our veterinary team to:
✨ Remove painful plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline
✨ Assess every tooth for signs of disease or damage
✨ Take dental X-rays (where indicated) to detect hidden problems below the gumline
✨ Treat painful teeth before they lead to infection or tooth loss
✨ Help eliminate bad breath
✨ Improve your pet's comfort, health and quality of life
A clean mouth doesn't just mean fresher breath—it can also help reduce the risk of bacteria affecting other organs, including the heart, liver and kidneys.
If your pet has bad breath, yellow or brown build-up on their teeth, red gums, is dropping food, chewing on one side, or seems reluctant to eat hard food, it could be time for a dental check.
