Dental disease is one of the most common diseases in pets. Not only is dental disease painful for your pet, but the increased bacteria in their mouth can be associated with other conditions such as kidney disease, heart disease, and liver disease. As many as eight in ten pets have dental disease!

How do I know if my pet has dental disease?

Watch out for:

• smelly breath
• drooling or dropping food from their mouth
• a loss of appetite
• weight loss

What does dentistry involve at Tullamarine Animal Hospital?

Cats and dogs visiting our clinic can rest easy knowing that we have their dental health as a top priority! We have invested in a state of the art dental X-ray equipment so that we can see exactly what’s going on in your pet’s mouth.

We can’t ask your pet to “open wide” – so dogs and cats with dental disease need a general anaesthetic to allow us to assess their teeth and clean thoroughly under the gum line. Severely diseased teeth are potentially very painful so we usually remove them to prevent future problems.
