Dr Adrian and the vets at Huntingdale Veterinary Centre have a keen interest in pet dental hygiene. Dental disease affects most pets over 2 years old causing bad breath, dental disease and is the leading cause of kidney and heart problems in pets if left unchecked. Not only do our pet dentists perform routine cat and dog teeth cleaning (dental scaling) we offer dedicated pet radiology, dental rejuvenation and fillings. Your vets have attended additional training to bring these services to you at a very reasonable price.
Our Focus on vet dentistry start with a great offer to minimise the cost to you!
Dental checks are performed by trained certificate IV veterinary nurse's.
If your pet is deemed to have Grade 2 dental disease or worse you will be recommended to discuss your pets treatment with the veterinarian - Standard consultation fees apply. You do not have to accept referral to the veterinarian.
Bad breath is a sign of dental disease, so if your cat or dog's breath makes you gag this may be a cause for concern. According to Hill's Pet Nutrition dental disease is one of the most frequently diagnosed health problems for pets. By the age of two, 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats have some form of disease. Dental disease and mouth pain can affect a pet's quality of life, appetite, behaviour, sensory perception and general well being.
We race to the dentist when we have any pain associated with our own teeth but often neglect our pet's and it can go unnoticed for months or years. If left untreated dental disease and dental pain can result in long term medical problems. Regular vet checks and a good quality diet go a long way to protecting our pets.
Bacteria from periodontal disease can spread through the bloodstream and damage internal tissues and organs. Dental disease has been linked to numerous health problems in dogs, including liver, kidney and heart disease. Pets can't brush their own teeth, but pet owners can protect them from dental disease by combining a good dental homecare program, with regular veterinary examinations and a complete and balanced clinically proven dental food. Acting as an edible toothbrush, Royal Canin Dental is clinically proven to reduce gingivitis, stains, plaque and tartar accumulation. Royal Canin Dental uses the kibble to aid in a brushing effect as well as an added nutrient that traps plaque forming calcium in the saliva to reduce tartar deposits.
