Periodontal disease is the most common infectious disease in both dogs and cats, affecting over 85% of all dogs and cats over 3 years of age. The cause of periodontal disease is plaque, which is primarily made up of proteins from saliva, and bacteria. Dental disease causes smelly breath, pain and inflammation in the mouth and eventually tooth loss.

We offer year round FREE dental health checks and will advise whether your dog or cat needs a professional dental clean or whether good homecare programs can manage ongoing plaque.

All dental procedures include full mouth X-Rays to determine the condition of the teeth and their roots, a full scale and polish of all teeth to eliminate plaque build up, and pre-anaesthetic bloodwork to check your pet’s kidney and liver functions prior to their anaesthetic.
