Pet Dentistry in Sarina

Pet Dentistry

Pet dentistry is important as poor dental care can cause a range of health issues in dogs, cats and horses. Dogs and cats can develop significant build-up on their teeth over time; our team can perform scale and polish procedures under general anaesthetic to help keep teeth clean and gums healthy. Sometimes extractions are also required.


Horse teeth continually grow and require floating/rasping to prevent sharp, pointed edges cutting their tongue and cheeks. We use a powerfloat to make this procedure as quick and comfortable as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How often should pets have their teeth checked?

    Pets should have their teeth checked at least once a year as part of a routine health check. Some pets, especially smaller breeds or those prone to dental issues, may require more frequent checks to maintain good oral health.

  • What are the signs of dental problems in pets?

    Common signs include bad breath, difficulty eating, drooling or visible build-up on teeth. Some pets may also show discomfort when eating or changes in behaviour, which can indicate underlying dental issues.

  • Do pets need anaesthesia for dental procedures?

    Many dental procedures, such as scale and polish, are performed under general anaesthetic. This allows for a thorough clean and ensures pets remain still and comfortable throughout the procedure.
