Dental Care
 |
Regular care will keep your dog's teeth like this |
A Healthy Mouth
Daily teeth brushing greatly slows tartar formation - but you have to start with pups/kittens and keep going. You use special toothpaste for the purpose, because pets can't rinse afterwards! Make it fun. See brushes and paste in the Shop. You can also use special rubber toys, which you fill with a little food and the pet tries to eat this while massaging the teeth and gums with the rubber fingers.
Regular checks throughout life will ensure a healthy mouth. When your dog or cat becomes 8-10 years old, they frequently will require dental treatment in the form of teeth scale and polish. If any teeth are loose or diseased, they have to be extracted. If you have an older pet with bad breath, we can help! We use ultrasonic scalers for dental care at all surgeries. Your pet must come in for the day, when the work is done under anaesthetic.
If you want to have your pet's teeth checked for free, make an appointment for a teeth check at one of our nurse's clinics. |
