We all know the importance of looking after our teeth and the same applies to your pet. Up to 60% of pets will have dental problems therefore your pets teeth should be checked on a regular basis! Our dental clinic not only offers a dental examination by a nurse but offers advice on how to clean your pets teeth and explains which types of food and treats are best to feed in order to help maintain healthy teeth and gums.

By far the most common problem is gum disease, which infects and destroys the teeth sockets causing otherwise healthy teeth to be lost. Gum disease occurs when plaque hardens and forms calculus which attracts further plaque. This in turn can lead to inflamation of the gums (gingivitis) and surrounding tissue area (periodontis). Should a nurse discover evidence to suggest a dental problem is either evident or beginning they will immediately recommend further examination by a veterinary surgeon who will advise you of the appropriate treatment.

Prevention is better than cure so remember your pet will benefit from regular brushing, oral dental chews and regular dental checks with one of our nurses.

Dental Clinics are free and are open to both cats and dogs so why not show your pet you care and book an apointment today.
