Dental Care Vital for Animal Health
Dental care is paramount for animals, as inadequate oral hygiene can result in severe periodontal disease, tooth loss, and systemic infections. Untreated plaque bacteria can enter the bloodstream, causing damage to vital organs such as the heart, liver, and kidneys.
Dental Grades
Dental Grade 1: Mild plaque/tarter build, gingivitis, scale and polish under 20kg: £382, over 20kg: £420. Dental Grade 2: Moderate tarter and gingivitis unto 4 simple extractions under 20kg: £580, over 20kg: £650. Dental Grade 3: Heavy tarter, periodontal disease, bone loss / wobbly teeth 5-9 extractions under 20kg: £720, over 20kg: £850. Dental Grade 4: Severe dental disease, significant bone loss, complex surgical extractions under 20kg: £950, over 20kg: £1200.
All dental procedures are performed while the animal is under a full general anaesthetic, this is for your pets safety and comfort. The Vet is then able to remove and scale away any tarter to help evaluate the condition of the teeth and all dental procedures will undergo a full polish before they wake up.
