Dental disease is one of the most common health issues in pets and affects 4 out of 5 dogs over 3 years of age. Cats also suffer from dental disease. Periodontitis, gingivitis, and tooth resorption are the most common causes of oral pain and discomfort for cats.

Tooth anatomy can be complicated, especially when most dental disease occurs beneath the gingiva or gum line. Your veterinary team have the tools to clean out any of the nasty bacteria that can cause ongoing problems for your pet. To keep your pet smiling, it is recommended that dental procedures are completed under general anaesthesia. This will ensure a thorough clean below the gumline and a pain-free procedure.
