Routine Dental Care & Periodontal Surgery
Routine Dental Care & Periodontal Surgery
Most pets won’t show signs until the pain is significant. That’s why we treat dental care as an essential part of overall health. At LVH, we assess your pet’s teeth and gums at every check-up. If we see signs of plaque, inflammation, or discomfort, we recommend a professional cleaning to address issues early.
Under general anaesthesia, we examine your pet’s entire mouth, take dental X-rays, clean under the gum line, and chart each tooth. We use modern monitoring to keep your pet safe and comfortable throughout. If any teeth are loose, infected, or causing pain, we’ll recommend treatment with clear explanations and thoughtful follow-up. Most pets benefit from an annual dental clean. With our state-of-the-art dental unit and intra-oral digital X-rays, we can assess your pet’s mouth thoroughly and tailor care to suit their breed, age, and health history.
We recommend you book an appointment with one of our experienced vets if you notice any of the following signs in your pet:
- Bad breath
- Broken or loose teeth
- Changes in eating or drinking habits
- Drooling or excessive licking of the mouth
- Red or swollen gums
To book your pet in for their next dental check, contact the team at Lorn Veterinary Hospital today.
