Dentistry
Dental health is vital to your pet’s overall well-being. Without proper care, conditions like gingivitis can progress into more severe issues, including periodontitis – an infection affecting the ligaments that support your pet’s teeth. This can lead to loose teeth or even tooth loss.
Signs of Dental Disease Include:
- Bad Breath (Halitosis)
- Inflamed Gums(Gingivitis)
- Loose teeth
- Facial swelling
- Excessive Salivation (Drooling)
- Reluctance to eat or chew
Our Process
At East Doncaster Veterinary Hospital, we provide free dental check-ups for pets, ensuring early detection and prevention of dental problems.
Regular dental examinations allow our skilled team to identify any changes in your pet’s oral health before they develop into serious concerns. Both gingivitis and periodontal disease are preventable with the right care, so don’t wait – contact us today to schedule an appointment with one of our experienced veterinary professionals!
During your pet’s dental check-up, we will assess their oral health using a grading system from 1 (healthy) to 4 (immediate attention needed). We’ll discuss whether your pet may need a cleaning, polishing, tooth extraction, or simply a change in diet to improve oral health.
We understand the importance of safety during dental procedures. That’s why all dental work at East Doncaster Veterinary Hospital is performed in a sterile environment using high-quality, autoclaved instruments, ensuring a level of care on par with human dentistry standards.
After any necessary procedures, we will create a personalised dental care plan for your pet as part of our Grade 0 Dental Program, tailored to their specific needs. This plan may include ongoing preventive care, diet recommendations, and follow-up visits to maintain optimal dental health.
Protect your pet’s smile and overall health with regular dental check-ups and expert care. Book your appointment today and give your pet the gift of a healthier, happier life!
