Dental disease is one of the most common disease in dogs and cats. If you think about it, we humans usually brush our teeth twice daily. We recommend teeth brushing for our pets too, but sometimes it is hard to keep up with. The increased number of bacteria in your pet’s mouth causes a buildup of plaque and tartar over time if not maintained.
We can examine your pet’s mouth as best we can. Sometimes we do need to do a full examination when they are under general anaesthesia as this reduces their stress as well. We can do a full scale and polish of your pet’s teeth under anaesthesia and if there are any diseased teeth, we usually recommend removal as this can be painful for your pet to keep.
