Pet Dentistry

Dental health is a vital part of your pet’s overall wellbeing. At Great Western Animal Hospital, we recommend routine dental examinations and cleanings for all our patients - because a healthy mouth means a healthier, happier pet.

We have tools for extractions, radiography, tooth scaling, polishing, and other types of oral and dental surgery.

Why is dental care important?

Just like humans, pets can develop plaque, tartar, gingivitis, and painful dental infections if their teeth aren't regularly cleaned. In fact, bad breath is often the first sign of underlying dental disease - and it’s not something to ignore.

Without treatment, dental disease can lead to:

  • Chronic pain and discomfort

  • Tooth loss

  • Infections that can spread to vital organs such as the heart, kidneys or liver

  • Difficulty eating and loss of appetite

What dental services do we offer?

We are fully equipped to provide a comprehensive range of veterinary dental procedures, including:

  • Professional dental scale and polish

  • ? Dental radiographs (X-rays) to assess the health of teeth below the gumline

  • ?? Extractions of diseased or broken teeth

  • ? Oral surgery for more complex cases

  • ? Pain relief and aftercare for a smooth recovery

Every dental procedure is performed under general anaesthesia for your pet’s comfort and safety, with full monitoring and supportive care throughout.

What can I do at home?

Prevention is key! We offer advice on:

  • Brushing your pet’s teeth at home

  • Dental-friendly diets and chews

  • Products that help reduce plaque and tartar build-up

Our team is always happy to demonstrate proper brushing techniques or recommend the best products for your pet’s needs.

Do rabbits and guinea pigs need dental care?

Absolutely! Rabbits and guinea pigs have continuously growing teeth that need to be kept in check. Overgrown teeth can cause pain, drooling, and difficulty eating. We can trim or file their teeth as needed and provide advice on appropriate diets to help manage their dental health naturally.
