Pet Dentistry

Dental disease is one of the most common diseases in cats and dogs.

Not only is dental disease painful for your pet, but the increased bacteria in their mouth can be associated with other conditions such as kidney disease, heart disease, and liver disease.

As many as eight in ten pets have dental disease!
 

How do I know if my pet has dental disease?

Watch out for:

  • smelly breath
  • drooling or dropping food from their mouth
  • a loss of appetite
  • weight loss
     

What does dentistry involve at Eastside Vet?

Cats and dogs in Glenside and surrounds can rest easy knowing that we have their dental health as a top priority!

Eastside Vet have invested in a state of the art dental X-ray machine so that we can see exactly what’s going on in your pet’s mouth.

We can’t ask your pet to “open wide” - so dogs and cats with dental disease need a general anaesthetic to allow us to assess their teeth and clean thoroughly under the gum line.

Severely diseased teeth are potentially very painful so we usually remove them to prevent future problems.
