Why pet dentistry is important
Dental disease is one of the most common health conditions affecting companion animals. Plaque and tartar naturally build up on your pet’s teeth over time. Without professional treatment, this build-up can lead to gum disease, infection, tooth loss and ongoing pain.
Pet dentistry focuses on preventing, diagnosing and treating oral disease before it affects your pet’s overall health. Regular dental examinations allow our veterinarians to identify problems early and recommend the most appropriate treatment.
Your pet may benefit from a dental assessment if they have:
- Bad breath
- Red or swollen gums
- Difficulty chewing food
- Loose or damaged teeth
- Dropping food while eating
- Reluctance to eat hard food
- Pawing at the mouth
Dog dental cleaning
Dog dental cleaning removes plaque and tartar that cannot be eliminated through brushing alone. Plaque contains bacteria that contribute to periodontal disease. Periodontal disease causes inflammation, infection and tooth loss if left untreated.
Our veterinarians perform professional canine dental cleaning under general anaesthesia, allowing every tooth to be carefully examined and cleaned. During the procedure, we assess your dog’s teeth and gums, identify damaged or infected teeth and recommend treatment where required.
If you’re looking for an experienced dog dentist in Geelong West, our team provides personalised dental care to help keep your dog’s mouth healthy throughout every stage of life.
Cat dental care
Cats often hide signs of discomfort, making routine cat dental care an important part of preventative healthcare. Dental disease can affect eating, grooming and overall wellbeing, even when symptoms appear mild.
Professional cat dental cleaning removes plaque and tartar while allowing our veterinarians to identify painful dental conditions that may otherwise go unnoticed. Early treatment can improve your cat’s comfort and help prevent more complex dental problems in the future.
Our approach to pet dentistry
Every pet receives an individual dental assessment before treatment. Our veterinarians examine the teeth, gums and oral tissues before discussing the most appropriate recommendations with you.
Depending on your pet’s needs, treatment may include:
- Comprehensive oral examinations
- Professional dental scale and polish
- Dog dental cleaning
- Cat dental cleaning
- Assessment of damaged or infected teeth
- Tooth extractions where clinically required
- Advice on maintaining your pet’s dental health at home
Preventative dental care helps reduce discomfort, preserve healthy teeth and support your pet’s overall wellbeing throughout their life.
