🦔💚 We’ve been delighted to help out Hedgehog Rescue with some of their lovely little ladies recently.
Did you know hedgehogs have dentals too?
🦔 Hedgehog fact: Hedgehogs have around 36 tiny teeth, and just like cats and dogs, they can suffer from dental disease.
Penelope, Daisy, Verity and Millie have all been in to see us, and we’re very pleased to report they’re doing really well.
We’d like to wish them — and of course their incredibly dedicated carers — a very Merry Christmas. 🎄
The work they do is truly amazing, and if you are able please do support them.

🐾 Little Olive absolutely stole our hearts last week! 🐾
This sweet Chihuahua × Mini Pinscher came in to see Martin for her dental treatment. As a little rescue, she’s truly landed on her feet — and we wanted to make sure her day with us felt as safe and comfortable as possible.
We do everything we can to help pets feel settled during their stay — from familiar toys and bedding, to personalised comforts like the cosy space and special treats Olive brought from home, and sometimes even using medication comfort packs to help ease nerves.
Olive did brilliantly — she was an absolute star ⭐🥰

💓 A little while ago, gorgeous Pip came in for her echo. Alice was right there to support her — not only on the veterinary side, but with plenty of hugs and kisses too! 🐾💞 Isn’t she just the cutest? 🐶✨

🐾 Rio’s VIP Recovery! 🐾
The lovely Rio, a stunning Vizsla, came in today for some dental treatment—but after her surgery, she wasn’t quite ready to settle. 😅💛
So, what’s a girl to do? Go for some walks, enjoy plenty of cuddles, and finally claim the staff room sofa as her own! 🛋️🐶✨
We think she made an excellent choice—after all, every VIP (Very Important Pup) deserves 5-star post-op care! 💕 ⭐🐾

🦷 An Unusual Find in Veterinary Dentistry! 🦷

Martin captured a fascinating case yesterday—Ziggy had an uncommon carious lesion on a molar, something we don’t see very often in veterinary practice. 🧐

He carefully burred out the lesion before placing a filling to restore the tooth. A great example of veterinary dentistry in action!

📣 Patient Spotlight: Sulley 🐾🦷

Meet Sulley, our brave little cutie who visited us for a dental procedure! During a routine health check, the vet spotted a fractured incisor that needed attention.

After taking radiographs of all Sulley's teeth, we gave them a thorough clean and carefully extracted the damaged tooth. Sulley handled it all like a champ and is now on the road to a healthier, happier smile! 🐶✨

Regular dental checks are key to catching issues like this early. If you have questions about your pet's dental health, don’t hesitate to reach out! ❤️🐾

🐱 Little Spud, our inquisitive superstar! ❤️
Spud came to see us recently, and during her exam, our vet noticed that her gums were quite inflamed. She was diagnosed with juvenile gingivitis, a condition that can sometimes affect young cats.
A few weeks ago, Spud had her first treatment, which included a thorough dental clean-up. Today, she came back for her second set of radiographs and another dental clean — and we're thrilled to report that her gums are already showing big improvements! 🎉
What is juvenile gingivitis?
Juvenile gingivitis is inflammation of the gums seen in younger cats, often linked to plaque build-up and their developing immune systems. Early treatment, including dental cleaning and plaque control, is key to preventing more serious dental issues later on.
Top tips for your cat’s dental health:
🦷 Regular vet checks to catch issues early
🪥 Introduce dental care routines such as brushing with cat-safe toothpaste
🍽️ Consider dental diets or toys that reduce plaque build-up
📞 Seek veterinary advice if you notice bad breath, red gums, or changes in eating habits
With the right care, we’re confident Spud will continue on her journey to healthy, happy gums! Isn’t she adorable? Give Spud some love in the comments! ❤️

🌟 Meet Dolly 🌟

Dolly came to us with a cleft palate—a condition where there's an opening in the roof of her mouth about the size of a 10p coin. This happens when the palate doesn't close properly during development, creating a gap between the mouth and the nasal cavity. This can lead to food entering the nasal cavity, which could be aspirated into the lungs, among other complications.

Luckily, Dolly was in good hands with our very own Advanced Practitioner in Dentistry, Martin Brice. Martin carefully assessed Dolly and created a surgical plan to repair the defect. He performed a procedure that involved using part of her existing palate to flap over and close the gap. Dolly was also fitted with a feeding tube to help her avoid eating by mouth during the initial healing process.

We're thrilled to report that Dolly has recovered well and continues to come in for regular check-ups. Her palate is healing beautifully, and she’s now a happy, healthy little lady who’s found her forever home with her fosterer. 💕🐾

🐱 Look at this handsome chap named Rocky! 🐱

Rocky came to see us as he was suffering from juvenile gingivitis.

Feline Juvenile Gingivitis is a generalized inflammation of the gums in young cats, often under 1 year old. Breeds like Maine C***s and Siamese are more prone to this condition. Unlike stomatitis, the inflammation in juvenile gingivitis does not spread to the mucosa or caudal oral tissues. Owners might notice a bad smell from the cat's mouth, or it may go completely unnoticed.

In many cases, if we control oral inflammation in the first 2 years of life with regular cleaning and homecare, we can decrease or even prevent recurrence of this condition altogether. However, if left unchecked, it can progress to severe periodontitis. This is why it's so important to check your young cat's mouth and ensure the vet includes a thorough oral examination at the time of first vaccination.

🚨 Remember to keep an eye on your furry friend's oral health! 🐾

🐾 Meet Oliver, a brave 18-year-old kitty! 🐾

Oliver was referred to us for severe gingivitis and was diagnosed with Feline Chronic Stomatitis, a persistent inflammatory disease of the oral tissues. His mouth was very sore with ulcerative lesions. The exact cause of this condition is unclear but is believed to involve multiple factors such as viruses, bacteria, and an exaggerated immune response to plaque on the teeth.

To help Oliver, we took a full set of radiographs before Martin extracted all of his teeth. This procedure aims to eliminate any potential inflammatory stimulus from his oral cavity. We're hopeful this will bring him much-needed relief and improve his quality of life.

Send Oliver some love and well wishes for a speedy recovery! 💙🐱

This gorgeous little puppy Elmo came in for a dental procedure last week. He didn’t like waiting in a kennel so we had him on a bed in our procedures room where he could watch the world go by and get lots of fuss from passing staff. Whenever a patient is unhappy in a kennel we try and accommodate their needs as much as we can to make their time away from their owners less stressful. Sometimes they even join our office staff for company for the day! Elmo’s owners also brought along a blanket, toy and his own lunch for the day which helped him feel more at ease. So if your pet needs to spend time away from you feel free to send along with them anything that you think will make them feel more comfortable 💕

Barney is a 6 month old Shih-Tzu who came to see us last week for some extractions. His mandibular canines were causing trauma to the upper incisors. Whilst he was asleep, we noticed that the first premolars behind both lower canines were missing. After taking some radiographs we found a little surprise on each side! The teeth were present but they were still under the gumline and at an angle they could not errupt and potentially cause problems in the future so Martin extracted both teeth. It is so important to take radiographs of missing teeth 🙂
